If you want a free program - then Legacy is very good indeed (use Google to search for it). Otherwise I'd recommend Family Tree Maker at a cost of £30 - but beware that there are several versions available which add-on lots of US census CD's and other US stuff etc which, if you're only researching the UK, can mean spending money unnecessarily.
