The producers have previously stated that for each programme they film about 10-12 hours of recorded stuff. And that doesn't count the research they decided not to film!

Just imagine squeezing any of your family histories into a watchable one hour programme!

Love it!  ;D And I read to the end ...  ;)

I think ThrelfallYorky is probably right in saying there have been many others who have been rejected as not interesting enough.

Just because you don't like him,doesn't mean that his family history might not be incredibly interesting  ;D

Carol - I agree his family history might be very interesting, but I just can't stand the man so would rather not watch that programme than have to put up with him.
