Who Do You Think You Are? - Minnie Driver

Minnie Driver's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? Series 10 was shown last night.

Minnie, understandably, was interested in the history of her father's family and the grandparents she knew nothing about. Armed with a (very nice) black handbag stuffed with the documents she was accumulating as the show went on, she set out to find more.

Certainly, you can understand why the information about her father's war history meant so much to her, and likewise why her quest - much like Una Stubbs in the first episode - was to find a picture of her grandparents.

This episode largely though was a testament to the possibility of finding more about recent relatives and tracing living people - something which is not always the impossible hurdle it may seem. Minnie certainly seemed please to talk to the cousin she never knew that she had, and the actress summed up the whole story very well with talk of film-script-quality events and the tangled web that can sometimes be left behind for future generations to sift through.

Can't wait for another episode! Talk to you soon!
