Yep agree with you Merry.
This probably should be a new thread but anyhow. Off the top of my head my favourites not in any order or series were:- Larry Lamb Len Goodman Colin Jackson Ainsley Harriott Stephen Fry Jeremy Paxman Sheila Hancock Kim Cattrall Julian Cary Alan Cumming Barbara Windsor David Dickinson Nigella Lawson Robert Lindsay Alistair McGowan Greg Wallace Patsy Kensit Jerry Springer Esther Rantzen Annie Lennox I'm sure I've probably missed a few out that I really liked too but I was going on memory I feel these were real FH's told them something they didn't know and because of that became interesting to the viewer too. |

They are the ones I remember best.
I was sat here going through them in my mind. I remember Jerry Springer's well I sobbed all the way through it well nearly all the way through it oh yes and Stephen Fry's had a lot about the Holocaust Esther's did too but it wasn't quite as upsetting. |

Me, too. In David Baddiel's episode, he presented mum with a brick from the factory her family used to run before the Holocaust. Oh, and the bit where another David Baddiel from the religious side of the family bumped into him in the street.

But I do remember Stephen Fry going back to tell the family about those in his family that almost certainly did die during the Holocaust, they never ever knew they only assumed but he sort of confirmed their fate with the few records and information that was gathered on his WDYTYA from the Holocaust records. Again it was fate I remember that his ancestor came to the UK and some stayed behind. |

I also remember Jeremy Paxman standing on a Glasgow street and getting upset when he realised what bloody hard life his great-great grandmother Mary had when left widowed with 9 children and her poor relief records.
That's the sort of stuff FH is its made up of stuff you don't know about its stuff that comes as a surprise or a shock whatever but that's the real meaning of WDYTYA is taking those walls and misconceptions down and hopefully along the way they find it interesting and in most cases humbling that they survived.
