Thanks for the heads up that it's back on! Seems to be on at 10am on BBC1 and then repeated on BBC2 the following morning at 7.15am

It's on at 11am ;D
"Homes Under The Hammer" is always on at 10am!

My apologies! I'm never in to watch tv live in a morning, so obviously didn't pay enough attention when I hit the record button!

She was my Dad's cousin - she was "on the stage" and travelled the world with ENSA in WW2. According to the Imperial War Museum she was one of the first white women into an area of Pakistan and they have a cast of her footprints!

It looks like an interesting show but does anyone here feel that the Ancestry DNA service was plugged in the most recent episode? I didn't think that was allowed on the BBC. It wasn't a blatant advertisement but it bordered on it.

The person from DNA Ancestry (I think he was the Vice President) was given the opportunity to market it. It was an almost text book marketing pitch.

New series started showing this week (11:00 BBC1).

Today's episode featured a RootsChat member (Skeggsy), but doesn't mention RootsChat by name - just "a Family History Forum".

I saw that one...
