Default TV programme: who do you think you are?

Sorry for this being last minute, but i only just turned over the TV and started to watch this, looks really interesting if you like Jeremy Clarkson:

Who Do You Think You Are?
BBC 2 Tue Nov 02 9:00 PM
(60 min., United Kingdom, Magazine/Report/Documentary)
Add to My Calendar

Series in which celebrities trace their ancestry, discovering secrets and surprises from their past. Jeremy Clarkson goes in search of a family fortune and on the way charts the rise and fall of British manufacturing from mid 19th to mid 20th century, through the Kilner Glass company. It was set up by a distant ancestor and did very well, but went bust in the 1930s.

Jeremy wants to know what went wrong and where his inheritance went.


U capturing by any chance Jabba?

Nice, JC just hopped out of the cab on a street i ride along every day! Shame i never saw him! Looks like it was filmed during the summer tho, far to sunny for england recently!!!


EDIT: Just finished, what a very interesting programme, its raised my opinion of JC, he is actually a very intelligent, funny, quick witted guy, i thought a lot of his humor was put on. This gave an insight into the life of JC as well as him tracing his family history, showing him with his family at the end.

Overall i enjoyed it, and it was interesting to see the rise and fall of the glass making industry in britain, and that the Kilner Glass name lives on in a current product!

Nope, a one off we posted last year.. we will put it up again asap! The BEST JC's doc ever!

to tell the truth, it is because you have a custom title, let me fix

Ah, now you mention it i do think i saw it, it was a documentary on the victoria cross and in particular the recipients, on guy i think was battling tanks whilst blinded by explosions etc in WW2, and got the victoria cross.

Yeah, top documentary. No need to put it up if it was going to be just for me. Cheers
