Videos: J.K. Rowling traces family history on BBC's Who Do You Think You Are?
As reported earlier this month, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling traced her maternal roots back to France on the programme Who Do You Think You Are? trying to find the truth about her great-grandfather, whom she believed received the legion d'honneur for his armed services.
The documentary was broadcast on Wednesday evening on BBC in the U.K., where the cameras followed Jo Rowling from Edinburgh to London, down to Paris and the French-German border to seek the truth about her French ancestors. That hour-long feature, in four segments, via sportskingtv, can be watched below. For those in the U.K., it can be viewed on BBC's iPlayer.
I love this show. I watch it pretty much every time it's on (although if I have no idea who the person is I tend to give it a miss) and Jo's was the most interesting, I think- and she was the most emotional. David Tennant's was really interesting too (he's Barty Crouch Jr.).
