I'm spamming you guys something rotten this week, sorry, but. But.

I've just sobbed my way through a programme about Jerry Springer. Who would have thought?

Who Do You Think You Are? is always a really intriguing programme, taking people back through the family history that they never knew.

Jerry Springer's family escaped to England at the outbreak of WWII. His grandmothers were both imprisoned and died in the Holocaust. I've watched a few of the series now, and this programme is definitely the most moving, watching him come face to face with everything that his grandmothers and his parents went through. And if you can get hold of it, make sure you watch to the very end. It's worth getting hold of, and worth the watch, although I had to turn it off halfway through the first time, and pick it up again today.

The ladies at work were talking about that last week. They didn't say it was Jerry Springer, though!

I think that was what struck me! I'm not a fan of the man, but it's a really, really moving piece of television.
