have enjoyed programmes so far, but would like a bit more info as to how they find right people.
Enjoy the stories about the family history though.

Having watched today's programme, it seems the BBC has decided to concentrate more on history surrounding the deceased person, i.e. their occupations, or the clubs they went to - British Legion etc. and much less on how the heirs were found.

I must say, I preferred the original format.

I agree. I wonder if it is beginning to have run its course?

Seem to be alone here then but I've just caught up with the first 3 episodes and really enjoyed them.

Last year I was starting to get fed up with it but so far so good in my book  :)
Best wishes HL

I'm enjoying the series although I agree it does feel different. It also seemed a bit odd that some of the connection shots show staff who we know have retired (unless they came back) so are they using old footage? Also there was a new chap called Colin as a person who 'goes out on the road'. have you still got the regular road crew Neil?
Most irritating point for me was an aspect of the footage from the new firm they are featuring - their paper trees seem to have been stuffed into their files and are all creased up or perhaps its very weird fanfold, but I thought it looked odd - yes I'm the sort who likes nice sharp folded papers, straight lines and adjusts wonky pictures on walls ;D so that's just my personal opinion.
