About this product

Product Information

Natasha Kaplinsky: Natasha was born in Britain to South African parents. Although some of her childhood was spent in Kenya, she grew up with a strong sense of her British identity, but knows little about her family history. Natasha has always known that her father, Raphie, had to flee South Africa in the 1960s because of his involvement in student anti-apartheid protests. He has never wanted to speak fully about his experiences, so Natasha travels to Cape Town to investigate the circumstances that led to her father?s exile. At the city?s university, Natasha is amazed to discover what a vital role her father played in the demonstrations and is shocked to learn of the danger Raphie and his fellow protestors were in. After investigating the story behind a family heirloom with possible Royal connections, Natasha travels to Belarus in Eastern Europe to explore her Jewish heritage. She attempts to discover the fate of her great-grandparents and two of her great uncles, who were living in the country when the Nazis invaded in WW2. In the bleak, forested landscape Natasha makes some chilling discoveries, but also uncovers a story of courage, survival and hope. John Hurt: Family legend states that John?s great-grandmother, Emma Stafford, was the illegitimate daughter of an Irish aristocrat. Although born in England, John is proud of his Irish heritage and hopes this will be the chance to discover the truth about Emma?s parentage. During his investigations John travels across England and Ireland in search for clues. But the more he learns, the faster the story starts to unravel. As the truth slowly emerges, John uncovers a story of illegitimacy, scandal and cover up. He starts to realise that although the story he was told has become confused over time, one of his ancestors appears to have had a hand in muddying the waters for his own ends. Griff Rhys Jones: Griff admits that he has never been that interested in family history. However, there is one story that he does find intriguing. Griff?s mother Gwynneth was in her 20?s when she discovered that the couple she knew as grandma and grandpa, were not her real grandparents at all. Gwynneth was told that her mother had been adopted after her own parents were killed in a train crash. It was only recently that Gwynneth discovered her real grandparents were called Daniel and Sarah Price. Griff wonders why the story should have been kept secret for so many years. He starts to look into the story of the train crash and quickly discovers that all is not as it seems. Daniel was an engine driver, but there is no sign of either Daniel or Sarah dieing in a train crash. When Griff finally gets to the truth, he uncovers a tale of drunkenness, violent death, poverty, the workhouse. Carol Vorderman: Born in Wales, Carol never knew her Dutch father who left home when she was only a few weeks old. As they were only recently reunited, Carol knows almost nothing about her Vorderman ancestors. When her father left, Carol, her mum, brother and sister all moved into a small flat, which had been left to the family by her great-grandfather Daniel Davies. Daniel lived and worked in Prestatyn and became quite a successful businessman. But there has always been a mystery surrounding him. How did a local butcher end up in a photo photograph with Queen Victoria? In Holland Carol explores the life of the only Vorderman ancestor she knows anything about. Her Great-grandfather Adolphe was a brilliant scientist who helped discover the cure for beriberi. Carol?s mum always claimed that he should have received a Nobel Prize for his work, but the award was blocked because he married an Indonesian woman. Carol?s final quest is to learn more about her father?s experiences in occupied Holland during WW2. He claims to have been in the resistance during the war, but his memory is failing and he does have a bit of a reputation for story telling. In the Dutch town of Venlo, Carol uncovers the truth behi
