It was truly thrilling.

How are you feeling about it now and how has what you've learnt about your family tree and your background changed you in any way, if presumably it has at all?

For people listening or reading this that are parents themselves, it can change your curiosity about previous generations and their experience.

But also, Chrissie, for me, I'm a mum of two teenagers.

You're the mum of three teenagers.

They start asking questions and some of them are really curious and some of them, in my case, maybe couldn't care less.

You know, it's a mixed bag.

What are your children asking you?

Having said that, I assume that they will watch the episode.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I can't obviously speak for your children, but I would have thought that they will find it incredibly compelling.

Yes.

And there's a lot of rich storytelling on both sides of the family tree.

Yes.

Maxine will get mad at me if I tell you, so you're just going to have to wait for the episode.

I'm not going to get you in trouble with Maxine, so I'm not going to ask you any more questions specifically about that.

But just more generally, I also think an interesting aspect of history is just reflecting on the experience of other generations and the climate and the culture and what

They grew up with everything, whether it's even things like, oh, my gosh, how did they function without hot water?

And, oh, my God, there were no cars then and all these things.

Has this been something that's got you thinking a little bit more about that too in terms of our experience, our generation, the generation before, and then, yeah, I mean, our kids' generation, the world they're growing up in?
