WDYTYA? - Lulu

After a small break, Who Do You Think You Are? was back yesterday at the earlier time of 8pm.

This time around, it was the turn of singer Lulu to trace her family's roots.

Lulu focussed on her mother's side of the family - which held a lot of secrets! Her mother had been the only one of seven children to be adopted out of her birth family - and Lulu was keen to research her biological family's background.





This episode was firmly centred in Glasgow, and the city's social history.

Glasgow's history of tensions between the Protestant and Catholic communities was the curring theme here, coming up again and again.




This was a unique one though - think Romeo and Juliet meets Peaky Blinders!

Sometimes fact is truly stranger than fiction.
