I don't mind WWII. My knowledge of the North Africa and Italy campaigns was confined to Spike Milligan's memoirs, and it is good to see it from a different angle, specially when you have experts explaining it on the ground.
It was also nice to get some shots of the beautiful Tunisian countryside, contrasting of course with the hellish conditions of battle back in 1942. |

I know what you mean about WW!! stuff. I have the greatest admiration for them and all but it is somewhat repetitive. ..

I have started to think the programme is being lazy when it reverts to an ancestor who was in the war - here's where he fought, he would of been scared being under fire etc...
![]() Should it be ignored or glossed over to appeal to those that dislike mention of the war or have no interest in real history. Rewrite their background to appeal to some viewers...

Did you notice then that his grandad had been on the same ship that Spike had? HMS Hood dropped Spike off in Italy.
My wife's father (who I never met) was in Italy. He never spoke of his war service. |

I finished watching the repeat of Hollywood's episode merely 20 minutes ago, and the only thing I can remember is the words "Banana Hill". Not a great episode.

Jane Seymour tonight should be a lot more interesting than last week. She has a very interesting family history with her Jewish and Dutch ancestry. Her real name is Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg.

Warsaw looks really depressing. No wonder they all want to come and live here.

Only half watching, bit boring tonight, as others have said just about the last wars. I liked the episode's when they back through the generations as far back as they can.
Hopefully some more interesting stories to come! |

Bloody hell, after all that.

Dutch ancestry.may have been interesting too |
