and there has been a hilarious review of it!!

How SKP had her idea of her heritage completely changed by discovered someone was in Salem and another went to the gold fields of California

The inane comments made by her and some of the others featured.

.............. and the reviewer was amazed at how little these celebrities apparently knew about even their grandparents

You could see if you can view the programmes on iplayer. Haven't tried it myself.

edit - just had a go. Can see the film but can't get any sound, which may be a problem this end.
