Thanks, Karen. I did a search before I started my thread but it didn't come up with anything. I've now deleted it. Glad to read that others felt the same as me about this dire programme !

Boring waffle badly presented. Agree with everyone else's detailed comments. I went out on Sunday especially to get a tape to record the programmes. Waste of £1.99. Keith

I had Mon/Tues taped and sat down to watch it last night. Was really looking forward to it but it was absolute rubbish! How did they get down to'possible 3'? Surely one of the easiest questions they could have asked the 3 possible dads with same name was 'did you ever have a relationship with...'? Watched the first one to the end to see if I had guessed right one, then watched 2nd one on fast forward which condensed it down to about 5 mins - about as much as needed! Won't be bothering watching the rest as gave no suggestions to help people tracing their family. :((

I watched today's programme and couldn't work out whether the men knew that there was a possibility of meeting a daughter...or whether they just thought they might have a match to 'a possible relative'. Interesting? how Anthony said it will be a tough quest because the man's name was not uncommon.... then Hey Presto he managed to obtain the correct marriage certificate. ...... If only we could all be so lucky.. It might help other possible researchers, if we were told what led him to that certificate. Gwyn

Thanks everyone. Decided to not bother taping it. I found this a lot more interesting. http://www.history.ca/ancestorsintheattic/

Out of the 3 people they have on the show,,i reckon 2 of them are actors. And Mel-whats-her-face gets on my wick,,saying the same things over and over again,,,'How are you feeling' 'It wont be long now'..etc etc... And Anthony Adolph says the same things each time,as well, I watched it last week while i was away,,but only for the part where the folks in question are re-united,,
