History on TV

 

Hi everyone!

Happy St. David's Day!

I hope you're all keeping safe and well.

I thought I'd write a quick post to let you know about some interesting-looking history-based TV programmes coming up over the next few days.

The first is The Story of Welsh Art, which starts at 9pm tonight (1st March 2021) on BBC Two Wales, and BBC Four for everyone else. It'll also be available on iPlayer.

Tomorrow, at 9pm on BBC Two, we have Stacey Dooley presenting the first episode in her new series, DNA Family Secrets.

I'm not an expert in DNA genealogy and don't pretend to be - I just hope that this series is clear on where DNA is useful and where it's not. 

It can be an extremely useful tool, especially when it comes to finding close family, like biological parents or siblings... It can also be vastly misunderstood, however, particularly when it comes to the borders between cultural, national, and ethnic heritage.

Still, it should be interesting viewing!
