I watched it this morning, and was very disappointed. It got boring after the first 5 mins, because of the sheer amount of time wasted re-capping on what they'd done - as though the viewer and the woman searching for her brothers were all absolute dimwits and had to have it shown over and over and over again. Duurrrrrrr. They did nothing but keep repeating before going on to the next tiny step, and then repeat the whole thing again....the programme itself could have lasted 10 minutes, but they, for some unknown reason, saw fit to waste the whole half hour(?) of the programme. Why waste so much time? It was absolutely infuriating and I won't be wasting my morning again. K |

Hi Sue, , Glad you brought that up,,,,,all these tests they do regards mannerisms being part of the genetic make up,,,I dont think I really buy that one,,,,,,,,, ,,as my OH, has similar looks ,actions.ways and even spoke the very same as his dad,,,,,,but my OH was adopted so how come this?no he was not the bio father,or even could be,,, |

Not quite as expected,,,,,to long ,to drawn out,,,,,,and lots of information that probally is relevent to family research,,but not quite so for the people being re-united----,at that stage,,, Looks like its going to go down the same road everyday,,,,,,,,,but then other viewers may find all parts of the programe very intresting,,,,,,,, ,,condenced down it could be a 5 minute show,,,,,,,, All in all nothing to really get excited about ...... |

They don't actually do any Geneaology for the person just medical tests ie Cholestrol,BP,Lung/breathing. Then sculpture of the face test to see if either eyes,chin,cheekbones even ears match. Personaalt it isn't worth watching. Suexxxxx |

Anyone seen this show? Missed the first 2 this week. On at 9.15 in the morning so we are at work. Been told they do someones genealogy to find missing relatives but make a game show out of it. That doesnt sound nice. |
