Here are the people featured in Series 1 from 2004. Went out on BBC2.
Bill Oddie I remember this being a very powerful starter for the series. They explored his mother's mental illness and the hardship the family endured. Amanda Redman She was introduced to a relative (I recall there may have been bigamy or a 'woman in every port') who looked so like Amanda. Sue Johnston I think her story was connected to the railways. Jeremy Clarkson There was a great quote about being the product of hundreds of years of interbreeding and he wasn't happy that a relative hadn't patented the Kilner jar. Ian Hislop Lots of First World War stuff (he's still doing that subject). Moira Stuart I was fascinated by the black students at Edinburgh University, but I recall that I felt she was rather cold. David Baddiel Very engaging and full of twists and turns - the questions over who was his mother's father? Lesley Garrett Now, wasn't there some awful mining tragedy? Meera Syal I remember her in a Hindu temple as they read out her family tree. Vic Reeves Jim Moir's bigamist ancestor.

Series 2 - shown in 2006.
Jeremy Paxman The tough-talking interviewer breaks down in tears at the realisation of the conditions in which his family lived. Sheila Hancock She had a picture of a mystery woman - who looked a lot like her - Mrs Zuhorst (haven't checked the spelling), who turned out to be a business woman. Stephen Fry A fave of mine - I welled up when he was reading a plaque outside a house in which his family had lived and a current resident explained to him that the residents wanted to remember the people who had been rounded up by the Nazis. Julian Clary Following on from Stephen Fry, we have Julian and Herman the German...and a whole host of other Germans. Mum not happy. Jane Horrocks Love her accent, but can't remember the details apart from the fact it was another tough woman battling against the odds. Gurinder Chadha Explored her family's businesses in Kenya and then India (or Pakistan). I'm sure partition was part of the story.

Brilliant episode I think once he realised he embraced his heritage but it was a bit of a shock to him I think.
