I quite enjoyed the Bear Grylls one - perhaps I’m getting less critical as I get older. He said he already enjoyed wearing a kilt and I did wonder which tartan he was currently wearing when he’d met his ‘ cousin ‘ wearing the correct tartan. Or did he already know who he was descended from and already has the correct tartan?

Many of our distant great-grandparents are “repeats”, especially if our ancestors stayed in one area, and if we have fairly recent cousin marriages in our direct line, then there’s that. 
I only wish they’d put all of the series on BritBox.  I have seen quite a number of the earlier ones, thx to YouTube, but more recent ones have not shown up on there.

Not having watched Bear before I found him irritating within the first 5 minutes but I still watch the programme.

  I had no idea who the "celebrity" was, but what an interesting story. I missed the first ten minutes - I must go back and watch them to see what the family story was. I just wish the subjects wouldn't try to count the "greats" all the time!

Thank you both  :). I'll get it on Wednesday 28th. I'm in Ireland, so don't think I can use BBC iPlayer. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
