Executive produced by Colette Flight for Wall to Wall Television, the BAFTA-winning documentary series for the BBC follows well-known public figures as they trace their ancestral history. Each episode focuses on a different celebrity as they work with genealogists and historians to uncover long-buried family secrets and discover how their ancestors’ lives were shaped by major historical events. Since its launch in 2004, the programme has become a staple of British factual television, exploring social history through the lens of personal heritage.
