Good TV - but not genealogy

This was the third episode of the series and, in my view, the most emotional. I had hoped that we would get through the series without the inevitable Holocaust story but here it was - just another reminder for us Gentiles of what happened in World War 2. Perhaps I am wrong but I was under the impression that the series was about genealogy and the efforts of celebrities to find their ancestors. However, it seems that it only scratches the surface and only provides sensationalist stories from the past. As a genealogist myself, I would do more than just look at the potentially interesting relatives but at both parents and grand parents, etc. of the subject. From my perspective, it was a nice story - good television - but genealogy it was not.
