I missed the Anna Maxwell Martin prog but watched last night's episode with Ralf Little. I must admit I had not heard of him, and I don't think I have missed much. He seemed quite distant and almost aloof at times and it seemed almost as though he knew the outcome of the story and was impatient for the actuality of the aspects he was waiting for- does that make sense?
I was a little disappointed at his reaction that his gfather or was it his ggrandfather gave up his football career in favour of the Welsh Religeous Revival of the early 20th century.
Not a lot of warmth in his personality I felt.

Hope the next one does more for me.

Perhaps your religious background was clouding your judgement?

I felt that they were struggling to fill the programme with Richard Osman, interesting though the story of his relation was in the murder case.

The Matt  Lucas story I found a compelling one and so very sad and really brought home to me the suffering of the Jews in Germany pre war and also in Holland during the war.

Football wise I think that the what he had found out suggested that his ancestor really loved football and he was sad that he had felt the need to give it up. That he couldn't do both.

I watched the Richard Osman programme and was very disappointed.
I thought too much time was spent over what he wanted them to find.
At the start of the programme he said something like 'I'd rather find a pirate than a duke' and they obligingly found a smuggler for him.
The he said he was very interested in crime (being apparently a 'crime writer'  ) so they found an ancestor who had found a body, and then spent far too long over the court case.

For myself I found the Sue Perkins and Matt Lucas programmes the best of the bunch.

I didn't enjoy the Richard Osman episode much either. I just didn't find it that compelling, compared to the excellent episodes with Sue Perkins and Matt Lucas.

He seemed more upset than one might have thought, but does that not reflect the different attitudes and reactions on matters between today and 120 years ago.  I don't think my "religious background" has any bearing on the matter.

Great photo Gadget

I like the way the celebrities all have their own interests and things which touch them .

But it's better when the when episode doesn't focus on one person .

Really enjoyed the Anna Maxwell one because some was quite recent history and she was interested in how the care system may have affected her grandfather's life.

It was horrifying that the sisters had been trying to get their little brother out of care for years ...

And unfortunately the care system still lets families down today .

Well, I didn't find Ralf aloof or distant.
In fact I rather liked the episode.

As someone who finds sporting prowess FAR more important than religion, I can understand the disappointment Ralf felt.

Takes all sorts!  Let's agree to disagree.

Reviving this old thread with a “celebrity” prediction for the 2023 series:

The beautiful Sir Lewis Hamilton. His family history will lead to Ghana and the slave trade on his father’s side. His mother’s side is interesting with links to Jersey and (indirectly) to the perfumery trade and extended family who seem fairly well to do.

Was filmed in August.

I may be wrong, but I hope I’m not. 

[Mowsehowse]

Well, if it was filmed in August, I expect they will air it......
How have you gathered "this intelligence"?
