Many useful websites are listed too. Some of these are even free, a course in reading old handwriting. Having said that, it's interesting to note that the ones that cost are the more complete/comprehensive but we may be very lucky and not need them.
When it comes to grading, Mr Waddell et al have left me with a bit of a dilemma. I've gone with 4.5 because I knew the stars' stories in this issue. However , if you missed them during the series, this is a definite 5* as they add some zing. Not that Dan needs much -added zing to be honest; he exudes enthusiasm and transfers his confidence with ease ensuring that anyone who reads this won't want to remain a passive viewer for long.
(Thank you BBC Publications for providing us with a copy for review. We also have a review of Waddell's [[The Blood Detective by Dan Waddell|The Blood Detective]].)
Further Reading: If this gives you the bug and you want to share the experience with the whole family, you may want to consider [[Who Am I?: The Family Tree Explorer by Anthony Adolph]], written for children. If your interest is piqued as much by Bill Oddie's story as by the genealogy angle, read more about that and other memories in his book [[One Flew Into The Cuckoo's Egg by Bill Oddie| One Flew Into The Cuckoo's Egg]]. For fiction about bigamy, try [[Without a Trace by Jane Bettany]].
