Oh yes! It’s a genealogy programme that traces ancestors of various celebrities. I mainly love it to see all the cool archives and libraries they visit — and for the reactions of people to finding out things they would never have imagined. I’ve also learned quite a lot of history (at least the basic stuff) from it. One of my binge-watch favourites. 🙂
I totally agree! It warmed my socialist heart to find out on the programme that his great great grandfather was one of the architects of shorter working weeks for workers in the UK!
Yes; my ancestors were pretty much all working class and so busy putting food on the table they don’t seem to have been very political (except for a few that were a bit right-wing). Sigh!
Still interested and trying to make time to write up some of the research I’ve done. I’ve been really lucky lately to have two of the Big T’s distant cousins get in touch with me; both with information about his immigrant ancestors! I love WDYTYA too; but have to watch it via YouTube because it isn’t shown on TV here. 😦

I’m not familiar with this one, Su. If you’re binge watching, it obviously has your attention!!

I think I’ve seen it on the programming guide,but I’ve never watched an episode. I should check it out some time.

I don’t know the show, but I like the photo. We had red last night, not white, but who cares? 🙂

It’s a great genealogy programme that traces the ancestry of various celebrities. I love it because they always go to cool archives and libraries and I learn quite a lot about information sources that are available. I guess there is an element of celeb-watching too! There is (or was) a US version of the show, but I prefer the British one which is a bit less sensationalist. As for wine, I hardly ever drink red these days. Or maybe it’s that I think of red wine as a winter drink? Either way: à votre santé.
