5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Series, 19 Nov 2008
Who Do You Think You Are? is one of those series that just gets better and better. I have been waiting for series three to come out on DVD for some time as I particularly enjoyed the one starring David Tennant who went back to trace his Celtic roots through his Irish Grandmother. Colin Jackson also had a fascinating story and, even though I am not a huge fan of him on TV, I was really moved by David Dickinson's programme in which he went back to look at the circumstances surrounding his adoption as a child. Wonderful - can't wait to relive these again on the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barbara Windsor - Who Knew?!, 19 Nov 2008
By Outsiderny (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This was a really great series, and probably what I most enjoyed about it was how interesting the most unexpected people were. I mean, Barbara Windsor I expected to be interesting, but what a revelation they saved for the end. And the stuff you learn! Why was drunkenness so common in the 19th century and earlier? Because there was a lack of fresh, drinkable water, so the only liquid you could trust was beer! For many that still holds true. But anyway, a really fascinating series that gives great insight into how the world turns.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always an excellent series, 21 Jul 2009
By Gertrude Stone (Tipton on Sea UK) - See all my reviews
This is just such a good series because (a) it allows you to get a different perspective on a celebrity, seeing them in a more natural and unscripted way, (b) it allows you to get a sense of how you might trace your own ancestry and (c) most importantly, in the best episodes, it allows you to get a quick insight into social history. Hopefully this then fires your curiosity to go on and learn more about the topic.

Series 3 is very good. They still have the slightly annoying trait of the surprise envelope which suddenly arrives at the celebrity's hotel (especially in Jeremy Irons' episode). Thankfully this seems to have disappeared from later series.

Episode one is about Barbara Windsor and market life in London. She comes across as a down-to-earth very natural person. Not really in touch with the modern world (she can't even use a computer) but very unpretentious. The story is an interesting battle between parents with different social aspirations. Obviously there is a twist in the tale at the end when Barbara discovers her most famous ancestor.

Episode two is about Robert Lindsay who seems to share some of his mother's bizarre spiritualism. It gives us a glimpse of working in steel works in Derbyshire and traces his grandfathers through the First World War.

Episode three- Colin Jackson in Wales, Jamaica and Panama, touching on slavery. Colin seems very relaxed with everyone he meets although his facial features smile when sometimes they shouldn't. When looking at the newspaper record for his ancestor Campbell he doesn't seem to notice that there is another Campbell just above. A relation? The episode hints at what can be done with DNA and genealogy.

Episode four- David Dickinson is probably very few people's favourite celebrity. The furniture in his house was grotesque and when he starts sweating all over the Turkish lady it is quite gross. But the story itself, one of adoption, is interesting and it is good that we get a clear sense of why his mother chose to give him up. Dickinson is unbelievably philosophical and generous on the subject.

Episode five- the posh world of Nigella Lawson. It is interesting that her father is only mentioned in passing- do they not get on or did he not want his family traced? The backdrop is the story of Lyons Tea Rooms. Dominic Lawson's story about the family being on a Nazi list of specific Jews to arrest is clearly nonsense- there was no such list as the Nazis eventually wanted to arrest all Jews.

Episode six- Julia Sawalha- easily the best looking person on the series. Traces her French (Huguenot) and Jordanian heritage. The world of silk weavers in 19th century London is a feature as is the place of women in Jordanian society. I don't know why Julia laughs so heartily when a Jordanian man suggests he can watch a DVD on a computer- does she think they don't have them?

Episode seven- David Tennant's trawl through the world of protestant bigotry in Northern Ireland. Beautiful scenery in Ireland and Scotland. Very interesting story about clearances. David's grandfather was a professional football player.

Episode eight- definitely softened my image of Jeremy Irons who seemed less arrogant than I would have imagined. Very interesting story about the Chartists. Absolutely gorgeous Irish scenery. The episode also highlights one of the dangers of the show: that people believe genetical heritage can teach them everything. How would a long-distant Irish ancestor, who Jeremy did not even know of before the show, have passed on a love of Ireland? Just plain silly, Mr Irons.
