I think it was partly that series plus having my son (who is now 31) that got me started on this hobby. I thought it was important that my boy knew his roots so I started asking questions of mum and dad ...

I remember it but never really watched just saw trailors and bits for it. was it really 33yrs ago it was on the TV ..even then I never really watched much TV although I did have one then.
Now that would be something I would enjoy watching . I wonder if it will be repeated after October when I will have a tele and a sky box. mm make that November when I learn out how to a) get a card and b) use it.

I have to say I never realised there was a book about it all ..will look out for that

They have been showing it on Sky TV, for the last couple of months
and Jude from GR kindly sent my OH the book when he had his accident which he said was a really good read.
