Who Do You Think You Are? - Ian Hislop (1/6)

Am I the only one who can't get over the Nazi-themed flower borders? What a perfect example of how they saw the Jersey occupation as a propaganda coup.

[ashburnhouse]

It's so irritating when Brits, like my parents, say "the war," as if there was only one war in the history of wars.

[MarkDeNaif]

In terms of the expat life, what the hell is Q8? Oh, yeah, Kuwait!

[khayes9591]

How tragic.

[EnigmaDrath]

What he said about recording is so true: we have hours upon hours of footage of my sister and me as kids growing up, but my parents are hardly ever in frame :(

[nutmegthyme]

@EnigmaDrath I agree. However, recording doesn't ensure survival of the record. As a child I recorded my grandmother on a recording device for many hours, including interviews. When I went back as an adult to get it, the relative I'd stored it with thought that it wasn't anything important (despite labeling) and had thrown it out. It broke my heart.

This is fascinating thank you so much :)

'The Island' by his wife Victoria is one of the best books I've ever read.

[jsidiropoulou]

@theBlueBrick Victoris has given the rights to a TV channel in Greece to make the book into a series. Hollywood wanted but she refused - said they'd ruin the book. Search for 'To Nisi' or 'TO ΝΗΣΙ' (GREEK) on youtube - they are doing a really good job - which is surprising as the new Greek actors/actresses are employed based on looks and not acting ability! Soon it will be available worldwide with subtitles. Worth watching

[TheDishaz]

could you upload meera syal's episode please...?

[nambypamby34]

I'm adopted , open adoption thankfully! I really want to do this. I'm talking to my bio-mom about relatives! I'm excited!

Bill Oddie doesn't have to look far for his family history. Just check his backgarden.

[luciuslevett]

I wanna watch the episode on Jeremy Paxman.......nowhere to find now

[Surells]

@luciuslevett I was looking for exactly the same thing.

Shame how things just slip through the gaps

[nietzsche123456]

Ian Hislop is a national treasure.

[katievhoneychurch]

i love this program!

[vikramkrishnan]

is it just me or does ian look exactly the same as a kid

[Lemmy15]

I've always thought he looks a bit like Piglet.

[Charapova100]

@Lemmy15 i think he does too! :) 

[madeluxx]

it says this part is no longer available, is it just me? I'd really like to see this!

[iananguspaul]

Sorry, I'll get it up today.
