Wow. Great episode tonight. What a revelation for Miranda and Barry Otto! This show is amazing when secrets like this are discovered.
Just saw the Manu Feildel episode on SBS on Demand. Fascinating episode.
Interestingly, Manu spoke to his parents in French, but when he had conversations with French experts and read the documents, he did it in English.
Because his parents are not proficient in English so they used subtitles. Whereas the genealogists and historians were chosen because their English is good enough for a program in English.
Really great season so far. I’m pleased that the celebrities this year have had quite different heritages and we’ve seen some different countries visited including Manu Fiedel in France and Kathy Lette in Norway and America.

Today’s upfronts announcement reminds me that I haven’t seen the rest of season 15, apart from the first episode featuring Manu Feildel. Luckily the season is still available on SBS on Demand.
Also, I notice that SBS on Demand has reposted the first 14 seasons of the show, including some seasons that were withdrawn previously due to various reasons.
