What a Privilege

Phew! I spent a very steamy day at Olympia, an exhibition complex in Kensington in west London, at "Who Do You Think You Are? - Live". It used to be The London Family History Show, at a smaller, more convenient and more pleasant venue, but then there was the TV show, "Who Do You Think You Are?", about celebrities investigating their roots, and the production company hijacked the event. It also featured an archaeology show and military history show this year. Anyway, the buillding is like a glass-domed railway shed, and the heat was stifling. I managed to find some interesting bits and pieces including (don't laugh) some plastic postcard pouches for some of the latest VDO pictures...

Speaking of whom:

  1. Nice variety and lovely close-ups. I love the scene at the playground when Bobby keeps imploring "Max" to "play nice" and there is no Max.

  2. It wasn't one of my favorite episodes but I still watch it from time to time because I would watch this man sit and read a book for an hour and still find him fascinating. :)
