New series next week on the Beeb of Who Do You Think You Are?

[Top-of-the-hill]

  Bother - I have just checked and the first episode is next Tuesday, when I shall be out - regaling the village women's group with an episode of my family history!!

I missed the first bit as I was watching GBBO but what an interesting episode.

I won't spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet.

It was very interesting, of course, to learn about the origins of Josh's family, but I would have really liked to hear about the earlier generations of his grandparents, etc., as well.  Yes, it was an exciting bit of history, but I think it went a bit over the top on the distant past.

Best one yet!
And such an unassuming young man, none of the fake over-the-top emotion which has put me off celebrities I had always liked! Just genuine wonder and enjoyment.

[Keith Sherwood]

He was very much spoon fed throughout, with the WOW! factor increasing by the minute.  So I thought it was only fitting that he got his pen and paper out when faced with that memorial plaque in Westminster Abbey and  began to work out for himself his even more extraordinary lineage...

So disappointed that I forgot it was on and only saw the last 10 minutes of the programme 😢. I'm recording the rest of the series. It looked so interesting.

[clayton bradley]

Very interesting how they got him to say those two pictures were so alike and five minutes later told you what that meant. I thought that was very clever.

[Jebber]

I enjoyed it, Josh seemed genuinely interested and his reaction much more restrained than the awful Danny Dyer.
