I didn't know Danny Dyer, I do not follow any soaps at all, but I watched this episode anyway and was fascinated with how this wide boy EastEnder was able to get his lineage tracked back so far and so so SO impressively. I don't care much about the person they follow, to me it is about the social history, but frankly I thought this was a marvellous episode precisely because of who he was and where he ultimately came from. I bet his wife did too.
I am surprised it did not score a bit higher, I certainly think it is worth the 9 points I gave it. They are often only able to go back a few generations but this was a case of more is definitely more.

Another great performance by the late and very much lamented Victoria Wood. Her portrayal of Nella Last, a woman emerging from under the thumb of a somewhat dictatorial husband is stellar viewing.
Despite her continued anxiety Nella blossoms during the war years and seems to find her niche in assisting the WVS and Red Cross efforts. It is based on the very real diaries of Nella Last.

As someone skidding across the stage of life towards old age I found this feature truly heartening and uplifting. While the subjects featured were well heeled and in predominantly good health the reason they were comfortably off is because for their whole lives they have gone out and just done it. They didn't sit back and wait for things to fall in their lap, they have worked hard for their success and that zest and drive is still very much in evidence today. My particular favourite was the 100 year old lady who took up running in her 80's This is a documentary that gives hope and not a little incentive to get up and get going.
