Watched this tonight and have to agree with lots of members who say celebs act up for the camera. |

Mau, I thought exactly the same as you about Brian Cox! He really did give the poor woman a hard time. |

I wondered where Fern Britten had been living when she was surprised by Victorian attitudes. |

Well would like to think that particular history will never be repeated Joan, of course governments are supposed to learn by mistakes....are they not? :-(......unfortunately some power crazed leaders in third world countries still exist in the dark ages and keep their people down. :-| |

I was shocked when Fern learned that her ancestor Jesse Carter was sent for dissection because his family couldn't afford his burial. |

Hayley I agree - it was pretty darned cringe material. |

I think it was the cutting up of dead bodies Fern found hard to take, she did look really upset, well I would have been too if it had been one of my ancestors. |

But then again that is why we have such clever surgeons today and people do, in this day and age, leave their bodies to Medical Research. |

I watched tonight and enjoyed most of it. Brian Cox should be ashemed of himself, shouting like that at the person giving him the news. He seemed like a bully to me, it is a wonder that the poor woman didn't walk away and leave him to rant straight to camara. |
