[Margaret in Burton]

I think you have to be interested in the historical event that all the three people whose ancestors they investigate have in common.
If it's an event that you really aren't interested in then it would be boring.

The whole point of the programme is to show the real life stories of those people.

We finally got round to watching the Dambusters episode today, really enjoyed it. I was surprised though that the three young people involved didn't seem to know that their ancestors, in two cases a great grandfather and the other a great uncle, were part of the Dambusters raid. I would have thought that information would have been passed down the family with pride.
