Thoroughly enjoyed the progamme - for once, about "ordinary" folk we can all identify with.

My gt-grandfather's sister was, according to the burial register, "burnt to death at home." She was 5 years old and the tale handed down the generations is that she was sitting on the floor infront of a blazing fire, when a log moved and red hot coals rolled out of the grate and on to her.
