Stephen Fry's Ancestors.

Just watched Stephen Fry on Who Do You Think You Are? on UKTV History.

BBC - Suffolk - Community - A quintessential Englishman?

Very intruiging, very sad.
If you haven't seen it try and catch it.

Kyt is a bit shady
I've seen this edition a couple of times, and it is very moving. Especially when he finds the plaque with all the names of the Jewish deportees in one building, including his relatives, put up by current occupant.

Another one in a similar vein is about David Baddiel, who travelled to Poland to search for details of an uncle who died in the Warsaw Ghetto.

Both excellent programs, saw Baddiel's one fairly recently. I was expecting him to be wisecracking througout but he was fairly reticent.
