Here are the people featured in Series 1 from 2004. Went out on BBC2.
Bill Oddie I remember this being a very powerful starter for the series. They explored his mother's mental illness and the hardship the family endured. Amanda Redman She was introduced to a relative (I recall there may have been bigamy or a 'woman in every port') who looked so like Amanda. Sue Johnston I think her story was connected to the railways. Jeremy Clarkson There was a great quote about being the product of hundreds of years of interbreeding and he wasn't happy that a relative hadn't patented the Kilner jar. Ian Hislop Lots of First World War stuff (he's still doing that subject). Moira Stuart I was fascinated by the black students at Edinburgh University, but I recall that I felt she was rather cold. David Baddiel Very engaging and full of twists and turns - the questions over who was his mother's father? Lesley Garrett Now, wasn't there some awful mining tragedy? Meera Syal I remember her in a Hindu temple as they read out her family tree. Vic Reeves Jim Moir's bigamist ancestor. |
