Yes she was a Doctor in Casualty .Zoe .in it for a while .if you don't watch the programme or havent done in the past she wont be known by you . Good actress Barbra

She was really good in Casualty and been in a lot of other shows.

I love anything to do with India such a fascinating country & history.

I hope its a good show

On the 1st March it will be Sophie Raworth BUT
if the football is on no other date given for her. :-)

Nudge for tonight :-)

Watched some of it .but couldn't get interested .not my night .no Emmerdale either :-\

It was interesting enough in its way. At least they didn't end up at Amritsar and find that her family had already been there.

We do have to remember that there are a large number of 1st + generation British 'Indians' who might be interested in their origins. We've also had a number of Caribbean based programmes. The Beeb does have to appeal to them as well as 'white' Brits with possible European connections.

I found it interesting - how come the West/East Pakistan war was/ is spoken about so little?
Also, to realise how bad it was, and how it affected not only individuals, but whole societies, and destroyed a way of life that had been going on for eons.

It's made me 'Google' the effect Partition had on later events in India.

I found it to be more of a history lesson. I too was surprised that, although relatively recent events, I did not recall the birth of Bangladesh and the bloody war prior. Overall though, I found it interesting and most probably would not have considered watching the programme if it wasn't WDYTYA :-)

I found it really interesting. I'm pleased that they were able to explain about the wars as like you Belle I didn't recall the birth of Bangladesh.
Next week football :-( :-( :-(

I also found it interesting Von, maybe because my grt grandfather
is supposed to have been born in India...my brick wall for decades.

I knew about the wars and what the people had suffered.

Two weeks before the next one.

I like the variety of different cultures and how they came about.

I found it very interesting as didn't know about any of the Pakistan situation.

I wanted to know if there were any of the family left anywhere & where they went.

Something to check up on - on WDYTYA website.

I found it very interesting too, more as a history programme though.

I have a vague memory of songs in the 1970s about the Bangladesh situation so I looked on YouTube and found this ....

THE INSIDE OF OF "CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH"

C&P'd .....No Description is needed.... This is a Documentary of "Concert for Bangladesh" by legend Mr.George Harrison. (R.I.P)


BANGLADESH .... GEORGE HARRISON

C&P'd from YouTube
"Bangla Desh" is a song by English musician George Harrison. It was released as a non-album single in July 1971, to raise awareness for the millions of refugees from the country formerly known as East Pakistan, following the 1970 Bhola cyclone and the outbreak of the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Just a reminder that no WDYTYA tonight.

Next week Sophie Raworth will be the last in the series.

Nudge for last in the series tonight :-)

What a fascinating programme. Very sad too when Sophie discovered what had happened to her Mott ancestors.

I thought it was interesting too, Von :-)
Very tragic family.

It's been a very good series this time. I have enjoyed them all

I'm always amazed to see how often we are drawn to places etc., that unknown to us, have a connection to our ancestors! :-)

It just goes to prove that when researching family history you never know what is going to come out of the next cupboard. Sophie thought her Mott family was going to be about a famous piano builder but turned into a quest for peace, liberty & plenty which tragically never materialised.

Never heard of a Pinery Vinery before, but I have now :-D

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode :-D

Thank You Emma .been interesting Till the next series :-)

Your welcome Barbra, till the next time <3

I also enjoyed learning about the Mott family and agree
that this has been one of the best series.
