Have you watched Secrets from the Asylum? I've just watched the first one and found it very interesting and moving. I think the 'Secrets From...' seems to be a more informative series than WDYTYA.

I enjoyed it Mel. I think WDYTYA has changed format a bit in the last couple of years. I eventually watched the preview to this years WDYTYA, last night, it aired before the new series started, I really enjoyed that.
Surprising how many were moved to tears when they were adamant they wouldn't cry, and also how they felt a connection with their ancestors which they hadn't expected to in such a way.

Sorry to see that this weeks was the last 'Secrets of'. I think a series with potential, I wonder if they will make more?

Felt sorry for Christopher Biggins this week. He seemed genuinely shocked at what he was being told, and by a man who appeared to by quite unsympathetic. (is that a word :shock: )

Thanks Gloria.

My friend will be excited, she is distantly related to Sophie Raworth apparently.

And I think Sir Ian Mckellen is descended from a Sutcliffe.
