    Even though there was not much real genealogy, I enjoyed last night's episode. The idea of his grandfather racing across open fields on his motorbike carrying boxes of ammo, near a enemy advance of 300 tanks being shot at is mad! If that happened in a movie it would be dismissed as unrealistic.

    Agree with the best of episodes that pinkypinky mentioned - never heard of Hugh Quarshie before, but his episode was very interesting.

    Yeah Hugh's was great for the genealogy of it, but I just found him very dull and I didn't really care too much about him, and so ended up caring less about his story.

    Even though Alan's whole programme was just about his grandad, no further genealogy, I found it very touching from an entertainment view I suppose. Sometimes a person's family tree may not be that exciting but the stories about a particular family member or two can really add a new dimension to the genealogy of it all, and help you connect more to that relative, and the family line.
