Watched it, it somehow felt as though something was missing, I can't say exactly what but I wasn't impressed at all.

Maybe it's run it's course.

I've just watched the programme.  I think what was missing was the sense of urgency we've always been shown in the past and also none of the on the road people knocking on doors etc.  Also in the case Fraser and Fraser were following up, there was no information about the deceased lady's past life which I've often found very interesting and nothing about her heirs.

I don't know if it was just this programme, or whether the BBC has decided to strip out all everything but the basic research in future.

Just watched it on catch-up tv. We enjoyed the programme, but would have liked a bit more information on the deceased and their families, and a bit more excitement in the race to track down heirs. I realise that detailed information on the amounts left to heirs cannot be revealed, but some kind of ball park figure to show whether the research was worthwhile would have been helpful. I'm sure we got this in previous series? Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to more episodes. ;D
