A deeply moving & highly emotional journey (Jerry Springer episode viewed) - Who Do You Think You Are?: Series 5 review by TB
I am not a regular viewer of Who Do You Think You Are, but I had caught part of the episode looking at the history of Jerry Springer's family roots. It was highly emotional & deeply upsetting, which totally contrasted with his most well-known persona, as the host of the eponymous show.
The programme is excellent, really examining the journey that his parents and grandparents went through. Meticulously researched & excellent support from family history experts make for an incredible & emotional journey.
