What shows would you like to see on TV,serious or comical?Glen

Lassie..................

Seriously, I think someone should make a genealogy TV show about....... me............cause I'm buggered if if I can get it right!!!! Rgds, It's Friday and getting used to this Hosten lager............

You know the sort of thing, Lead or no lead, 22 boxes,pit your wits against the banker to win up to 250,000 unverified names to add to your tree. Blind Panic Can the contestant find the third cousin hidden behind the partition,by asking just 3 questions and our Graham with a quick recap? Land Girls A tv film based on Norfolk ag labs in the 1800's Glen

Wot, like COME ON DOWN, and bring your wet nurse with you?

Songs of Praise,sponsored by the LDS church,closing credits by ancestry,so the show is apparently hosted by Aldi Johns

Oh very droll...... TAKE YOUR PICK, hosted by the CRO........

Christ, if this is a hobby I should take up train spotting......at least they come along, eventually!!

Pro Celebrity family tree, watch as a wealthy celeb has their family tree researched at the license payers expense. Oh sorry the BBC have already done that one.

The Clangers............... Most of mine must be on the moon! (I can't make the sound, but it was daft) Jeanne

Ancestors Road Show. Bring along your old rellies and a team of experts will tell you when and where they were made, whether or not they are fakes and most importantly of all, their value at auction. You can then put on a precious face for the camera and say 'Oh, I wouldnt DREAM of selling them, I'm not interested in the value, the sentimental value is priceless'. (And hope the camera doesnt follow your breakneck rush to the Auction house). Watch the faces of those who are told that their Ancestors are fakes - they paid thousands for them and will argue the toss with the experts. Express your horror at all those old Ancestors who have been covering up a damp patch in the Owners home for years, or have been part of the henhouse roof. Envy all those who just happened to pick up their ancestors in a skip, because they 'just liked them'. And snigger at all those who have been collecting miniature ancestors for years - of such extreme ugliness and tackiness that no respectable Auction house would put them up for sale - as the experts say - take them home and enjoy them.

Oh June....like the flowers,,,,,,,(in bloom) On the trail of the lonesome pine................ (That would be Laurel & Hardy, if you are over 80!) Before you ask..............Noooooooooooot Yet !

Escaped to the Country Trace your ancestors as they escape the slums of the city in search of health and happines in a small rural village,gasp at the great distance travelled between 1871 and 1881.Marvel at the number of friends they visit every ten years,and wonder who really fathered THAT child born the following spring. Hours of entertaining viewing guaranteed.

Getting bitter and twisted here people?

On the subject of music Culture Club 'Church of the poison mind'. Bit close for comfort for any LDS members reading this but it refers to RECORDS. Glen

Just hope you dont end up with your very own Jerry Springer - Your traced relatives (who all had the same surname before they married) all turn up at your house, brandishing iq's smaller than their shoe sizes, using drugs, falling out with the neighbours and having affairs with their daughter's husbands etc. Happy families.

I guess this one is for you over 50's (ish) Going to the Chapel, and we're........... Gonna get married...............going to the Chapel and.... We might make a record, and we're........... Goin' to have children, maybe........... We will get them baptised, maybe............. then we'll really bugger you, and die without a record at all... Get the tune................and add some.
