Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

The moving ( so moving one of the historians cried )and harrowing story of Robert Rinders family .
Was on BBC 1 Monday around 8.00pm
Worth watching on catch up.

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

Always watch this. One of my favourite programmes.

I drunkenly mentioned once that it was 'must watch TV'

Now at 7.55pm on a monday i get a text from my Brother in law saying' there's something starting on BBC 2 that you MUST watch'

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

Who is he?

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

I didn't know either but then I rarely watch television. If you want to know, Google is your friend.

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

He's a Judge. He is on daytime TV too

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

Otherwise known as Judge Rinder.
He was also brilliant on Strictly come dancing. Gave it everything!

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

I watched Judge Rinder last night Muddy, I like him.

I agree with you, it was very moving.

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

I watch the show every week it's one of my favourites. The Judge Rinder one was really moving I was in tears too with him....what a lovely man he is kind and gentle with a real sense of justice...he picked the ideal profession.

A harrowing story of persecution and survival and whoever said the ideal revenge is to do well and be happy....how true.

If you missed it it's on catch up.

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

I had never heard of Robert Rinder (who I understand is a criminal barrister with a TV show) until he appeared on 'Strictly' . I have since heard interviews with him on the radio since.

It was a thought-provoking programme and I wondered if a friend who lost almost her entire family in the Holocaust was watching. Her father and mother escaped with nothing but the clothes they wore. Her Father went on to start a successful clothing business.

I could imagine Robert's grandfather getting his first glimpse of Windemere and being welcomed by the warm hearted Cumbrian people, it must have felt like arriving in heaven.

Re: Robert Rinder -Who do you think you are ?

I saw his reaction to his Grandfather lying about his age to get to England and the relief when he read that he had asked later for it to be rectified.

You could see that it had not sat comfortable with him. Good to see
