This really helped to show the type of guy George was. Also, the online family tree was not in the BBC version. Instead they talked more about what George did in Australia and showed photos of his life there. I wonder if they put the tree in to make up for them taking out the stow away piece where they had used ancestry.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10232674112099044776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-49884213045920750432011-02-26T06:17:56.667-08:002011-02-26T06:17:56.667-08:00I was disappointed that WDYTYA US did not advertis...I was disappointed that WDYTYA US did not advertise this as an encore showing, only leaving out relevant information from the BBC version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-91853677243826620502011-02-26T02:14:30.687-08:002011-02-26T02:14:30.687-08:00I have to say, I really disliked the show tonight....I have to say, I really disliked the show tonight. So far, the other shows really came off as a discovery of ones passed, or an explanation of why something happened, this one just seemed to be a character assassination. Not trying to defend the guy [for bagging on his family], but did we need an entire show about it (just the one the one guy)?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783554294784604970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-52883789126884319862011-02-26T01:55:44.051-08:002011-02-26T01:55:44.051-08:00I thought this was a lousy WDYTYA episode.

I was trying to watch both at once to compare. Pretty sure they mentioned that at least one of the three sisters lives in Liverpool and the other(s) were visiting, and then vice versa in Vancouver.Banai Lynn Feldsteinhttp://idogenealogy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-64355476499123998462011-02-25T21:25:52.186-08:002011-02-25T21:25:52.186-08:00Hi Randy,

As a Canadian, I was happy to see at least a little of that connection, though they certainly didn't make it clear.<br />JenJenShttp://www.jenasmart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-47473299175968218722011-02-25T21:24:41.041-08:002011-02-25T21:24:41.041-08:00To answer a few of your questions/comments...

The Ancestry plug at the end was added to the US version, so there's no telling when it was looked up. And the epilogue graphic was also in the BBC version.Banai Lynn Feldsteinhttp://idogenealogy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
