Series 3
The episodes in this season have a lot of my faves. Barbara Windsor Cor blimey - costermongers, publicans and East End dockers...and a mass famine grave in Ireland. Robert Lindsay Freedom for Tooting. Actually, no. Illegitimacy, children passing away in infancy and buried in mass graves plus a bit of bigamy in Derbyshire. Colin Jackson What a sweetie. Summary posted earlier. Really great episode. I think that it's the only one to date that has used DNA. David Tennant Another goodie. David McDonald to his mum and dad. The Doctor travelled back through time to take in the Highland Clearances on Mull and football in Northern Ireland. Felt challenged 'as a bit of a leftie' when he confronted sectarianism in Northern Ireland. David Dickinson I liked this one, too. Looked at his Turkish roots - the Gulasarians. Was he estranged from his mum? There was a picture of her and he was the spitting image. Nigella Lawson Lyons Corner House was a family enterprise. She was convinced - because of her dark colouring - she was of Sephardic Jewish origins, but it turned out she was Ashkenazi. Jeremy Irons So very disappointed to discover that he wasn't Irish and that there was not one drop of shamrock blood in his stock. Julia Sawalha I remember her looking dreamily out of a window while wearing a sari and thinking that they didn't wear saris where she was. She also had a cheesemonger in the family. Although given that I watch repeats of these shows late at night snacking on cheese, I could have dreamt that. That's all for today, folks. Last edited by Shona; 11-10-12 at 21:42.

I was going to say lol, but I guess it's not great being an insomniac, even if you do get to watch WDYTYA? on a regular basis!

The Barbara Windsor one also discovered that she had a connection to the artist John Constable.

What is the opposite of eidetic memory?
Me! Looking up eidetic memory because I can't remember what eidetic memory is!    EDIT: In my own defense I suppose I should point out that we would call it photographic memory, and I can indeed remember what that is even though I don't have it.
