Young or young-ish people seem to get selected a lot like Gemma Collins, Vicky McClure.

Not just the WW2 or WW1 story but the ones with the ancestor who was a religious leader. We need one where an NPE was discovered using DNA, that would make a change. One, for example, found that a grandparent or great grandparent was not the one listed on the certificate and baptism/census records.

Thoughts on Vicky McLure last night.

OK it didn't go back very far but at least I thought she was believable unlike some actors they have had in the past who appeared to be acting all the time.

I think it will have stirred some unpleasant memories for people whose ancestors were Japanese POWs. I think many younger people don't know anything about the war against Japan.

I thought it was interesting

I wanted to know more about her grandmother's birth father
This programme doesn't look at DNA matches to find now

It would be good to have a separate programme for that .

Not watched it yet but have read up on some of what happened. Jean Crompton born December 1925 in Grimsby, birth registered in the first quarter of 1926, her supposed father Thomas Crompton was away at sea from January to July 1925.

Coombs Not to spoil it for you but Thomas knew his wife was pregnant and told her they couldn't afford another child.

Excellent news.  Even if I don't like the person I give all new episodes a go.
Same here Milliepede.I think there is something to learn from each programme.
Not a fan of Danny Dyer but it was his story and he was eager to find out his family history.
