Pleasantly surprised as it was about a butchers business still going in the same family for 500 years. Margaret Mountford of Apprentice fame was the commentator and it was a most interesting genealogy of the family. It was especially significant as I know Bridport,where the shop was,very well as my late husbands aunt lived there and we visited a lot. Think there is another theme next week,but Margaret is a very good presenter and I think it would be worth a watch.

	It was definitely worth the watch!! My ex used to live near their, and knew the 'other' butcher (more of a deli)
