Lydart gets it just about right as per usual, thank you!!

I thought the programme was delightful but of course my RC name gives my interest away.
All the usual nit-pickers seem to conveniently forget that its an entertainment programme and they have to cram as much as possible into less than an hour.

To be perfectly honest, this website will give you many more pointers for your research than watching TV.

I respect your diverse opinions, honestly!!

I thought it was a good start to the new series and Una seems like a lovely lady. I agree with several of the comments about Clarence's father's identity not being fully investigated but maybe the family did not want that part to be under scrutiny? I thought Cheri's voiceover was good but I too miss Mark. Looking forward to the next programme.

I loved it, I thought Una was charming and I loved how excited she was about the whole thing. Miss Mark though  :)

Perhaps my o.h. will stay awake now that the VoiceOver has changed!
I agree it was an interesting start to the new series.

If Una Stubbs was born in Welwyn, then why in WDYTYA magazine does it say that she was born in Hinckley, Leicestershire?  Also, before the programme was on, someone told me that Una was from Burbage (which is directly next to Hinckley).  However, her birth entry is for Welwyn.

So, how does Hinckley fit in?

I also prefer Mark doing the narration.
