Thanx for the reminder June, look forward to seeing you Trevor. :) Bev

I'm looking forward to watching tonight's episode. Last weeks was very moving (about Bill Oddie's mother especially). Jacquie

have your hankies ready as Amanda's mum will blow you away from the clip I saw.... had me weeping with her honesty!! Bless her!!

Thanks from me, too, June; I haven't forgotten though. Trevor, don't know if you saw my reply last week, but I mentioned this week's T.V. Quick; Amanda's (and your) story is in it. Have you got a copy. In the trailer for the programme, are you the guy very briefly seen saying something? Anyway, hope you and yours enjoy the programme. Glenys.

Glad I came on here tonight, I'd forgotten all about this programme. Mental note to self "Must set video"

Hi Glenys...for my sins that was me, and have seen the article Have to say a little concerned, the story is moving, and shows that we all have "skeleton's in our cupboards", but not sure what interpretation/slant the film company will put on it. Bear in mind that this is just one arm of our family tree, and only covers a few generations on our Grandmothers side.I had hoped they would have chosen to show the Herrington side, because I have researched back to 1610, and it has an equally gripping story! Shame I didn't mention GR, to give it a plug!

Hi all of you out there time to nudge this one up as a reminder to look out for Trevor Bev

i know wat you look like now trevor lol susie

Think you were very good trevor!..fame!..

Hello Trevor That was very moving. I shed a little tear.

Now you know that Cyril was originally called Pillings, has anyone tried to track down his birth record?

well done trevor,on all your hard work......very enjoyable,as always could'nt take my eyes off amanda....it must be lurv,lurv,lurv....ok,i admit it!! bryan.

Brilliant Trevor, Tonights episode shows how families can be torn apart,and how it can be too late for half siblings,some parents have a lot to answer for,and will never realise the heartache they leave behind.The questions will for some always remain unanswered. Tonight for me,well worth watching. regards trish.

Hi Trevor After watching last weeks and being abit disappointed I didnt know what to expect for this weeks, but what can I say except really moving - sat in tears for the majority of it. The story was really sad and it was so lovely that Cyrils daughter in the end found family that she didnt know anything about. Well done with your research. Karen

Trevor you looked nothing like I imagined you :-) I thought tonights episode was excellent and a whole lot better than last weeks. Infact if you hadnt posted on here I wasnt even going to give it another shot... glad you posted and Glad I did. I too sat with tear filled eyes for most of it! Shaz xx

Great programme, really enjoyed it, but I was dying to know if anyone found Cyril's birth under 'Pilling'!

Trevor, just wondered if you got to see the programme before it went out and what the family opinion was on the finished article. Was everyone and everything portrayed in the way you would have wanted? And of course, have you found Cyril's birth yet? Maz XX

Trevor, You look soooo like my brother! Amanda and her Liverpool cousin are very alike as well. New Ross-- that is where my mum and her family come from so I was very interested in that part. This week was so much better than last week but in Bill Oddie's defence, I think he had something to sort for himself as regards his mother rather than looking for family. Jacky :-)

Just watched the programme, thought it was brilliant and very emotional, you must have put in lots of hard work Trevor, so glad that the pictures of Cyril were found even I was dying to know what he looked like, thought he was very much like his mother. You'll have to tell us if you find a link with the St. Ledger horserace. Facinating stuff. Belle.

Congratulations Trevor on your contributions to the programme. I'm sure you did a lot more work than you were given credit for. Would love to know about the Pillings connection, if one was found. Yes I thought Amanda & Karen shared a major family likeness. Helen
