Did anybody else see 'Who do you think you are' last night?

Fascinating.

It featured Meera Syal (WHO? I hear you say) who is one of the actresses in the Kumars at 42. I don't watch it but I think she's the one who plays the bent over biddy.

She was born and brought up in this country and knew little of her family history.

She traced her history back by a couple of hundred years and went over to India to find out more about her ancestors.

It was interesting to hear that one of her Grandfathers was involved in the movement against Britains rule in India. A very proud man.

A very touching story and I learnt alot about a culture which I previously had no interest in, whatsoever.

It would be very, very interesting to visit India.

Yes, I saw the programme entirely by accident whilst channel surfing. Absolutely superb.

I saw it too - it was very interesting. In fact I have been religously watching this programme for the past 9 weeks! It's brilliant and has inspired me to find out more about my family history
