It was an OK episode for me.

Just caught up with Mark Wright's episode and I thought he was a decent young man and the story was OK too.

I enjoyed the background story but just wasn't keen on Mark Wright, never heard of him before tonight.

Joan.

Really enjoyed it tonight Mark was very interested in his Ancesters. & Spanish connection seems a very nice young man . :-)

Thanks Gwyn. I don't know him but I like the programme so I'll watch it.

Ann, you know they've asked me and I've refused. :-D ;-)

Mark WRIGHT....TV presenter on Wednesday 11th September at 9pm

The Queen :-D :-D :-D :-D

I caught up with Sharon Osborne last night.

Some beautiful camera shots in the programme, I thought, and wondered whether she brought her own sympathetic cameraman with her.

Who's next?

I enjoyed it - the better 2 towards the end of the series so far

Not great, nothing different happened within the family that didn't happen to many other families, including going abroad & losing lots of babies / children, bit predictable really.

Joan.

In my opinion the best so far. Very interesting ancestors and quite heart breaking news about the children, unfortunately the time and conditions killed
so many people.
Not a fan of hers and expected her to over react but was pleasantly surprised
to see her do some searching herself.

Next week.....Mark Wright

The Sharon Osbourne programme was quite interesting last night, if you ignored her emotional act.

There were a few things I would have liked to have looked into, one being the elderly mother mentioned when her grandmother was arrested. It would have been interesting to know who she was.

Fall River was interesting too, Capitalist exploitation if ever I saw it, but whatever happened to the ancestor who came back to England with his daughter?

It was the best one this series - but they didn't tell him a lot of the rest of his family on the Irish side.

Felt very sorry for him - not that I have ever watched anything he has done.

He put a very brave face on it all

Best one yet and a bit of Wales as well :-D :-D

Agree!

Agree!

I enjoyed it also but like Det they should be
doing some searches, it seems to be the expected
thing that information is found and done for them.

They don't seem to be doing any searches themselves in this series. Sure, we know that they've been told what or how to do it - isn't the element of discovering something for yourself part of the journey?

I enjoyed it, but I do wish the experts would point out why & how likely it was things that happened happened because of whatever & not let the celebrity assume things!
Anyone watching these programmes that are new to Genealogy need to be clear & have more clarity about the whys & wherefors of those times.

Joan.

I enjoyed it also. :-)
