candleflame I must admit I found the staffing a little odd..........but my guess was that they were using old footage that hadn't been used previously and so could say it was new! was a bit disconcerting though.................still enjoyed it anyway

I'm enjoying the new series too, but I found the background music in yesterday's episode very annoying, particularly when the researchers in the Fraser and Fraser office were talking.

I caught this week's episode and enjoyed it. It was lovely to see the friends of the farmer who died, reminiscing about him.  :)

All this weeks' episodes are on catch-up tv and they should all be on iplayer as well? So far I've seen three, (OH insisted on watching the footie midweek, so I'm one behind!) and thought they were ok, I particularly like the social history bits like the women in the ordnance factories and at the mines.

We have several new people on the road, as well as some old faces. We currently have about 8 staff permanently on the road that is more than most other firms have in total for their whole operation.

Hope you continue enjoying the series

Just about to settle down with a cup of tea and watch this morning's programme that I recorded. It is nice to see some of the new, younger people that you have working for you.

Neil - The programmes to date (don't know about today's I've not watched it yet) haven't shown much about the people on the road and haven't really shown much about the searches or the on road researchers visiting families etc.  The progammes seem to be going more down the history route, even it seems to be asking a researcher to say,  "Mr X was a coalminer, paper maker etc." so that the programme makers can then insert a few minutes on the occupations.

The other thing I've noticed is that whereas in the past, the on road researchers were sent off to get certificates and then ring in with the results, they are now being ordered (presumably on line) and the researchers just wait for their arrival the following day.  The same when heirs are found, the researchers in the office send a letter regarding the heirs making a claim.  Is this how things are usually done and in the past, the programme makers have urged more speed to make the programmes interesting?
