Customer Reviews

Wonderful TV
Who do you think you are is a super, even thrilling TV series. Almost like an up to date 'This is your Life' we go beyond the person to find out their family history. What has surprised me is how much suffering there was, and so just how comfortable we are today.
Great TV! Well worth buying.

Fascinating Family History
This box set had me enthraled all the way through, not just because I'm into family history but because it was good 'story telling'. All of my family enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone.

Good TV
If you enjoyed the TV series then having the whole thing on DVD is great. Although they used well-known names, not all had fascinating backgrounds. A good balance which shows just how interesting most of us would find our own genealogy.
