Thought it was absolutely brilliant! A really good start to a new series! Well done WDYTYA team(s).

I couldn't agree more! fascinating and totally absorbing - the hour flew past.

Hi all

Oh dear! I think I must have been the only one to fall asleep    It was when he was in the bookshop.

With regard to the episode, I just felt they kept leaving out parts of the story - The story of Charles' father was particularly interesting and like someone else I would like to have seen some graphics of the family tree as it was rather confusing.  Also, they didn't actually say if Norah knew her father had remarried and had a son.  And did Charles' mother know her husband had a daughter and grandchildren?

No one has mentioned our new voice over artist of Phil Davis!  Sadly, rather lack lustre I thought.  I kept waiting for a bit more interest in his commentary but it never came.  Early days I know.  I have always been a real fan of Mark Strong - so hard to outshine him.

I really enjoyed it, both sides of his family, I image more research, more questions.
 A good first program

I really enjoyed it too
Surely if his brother was ten years older he'd have remembered a bit about his stepfather's personality ...I wanted to know who his father was and how Walter dance had met his second wife ...and about her next husband ...there is always too much to fit in one episode .

As a big fan of Phil Davis (his hilarious Jed in Poldark etc) I must defend him for doing his job appropriately in just conveying the information humanely and sensitively. My own (small) criticism is the young lady's not realising that a gross of paintbrushes (144 for you 40-somethings) would be a lot more than a painter would need for his own efforts. Good show.

No... me too!   I hated the first half and voiced to hubby that it didn't bode well for the rest of the series if they were leading with such a dull episode.   Once it moved to the story of his father it was much more interesting, but by then hubby had given up and gone to bed!

What day and time is the "Who do you think your are" programme. I will set the series link
I missed the first episode in this series, no doubt it will be repeated some time in the future.
