About this programme

1/11. Impressionist Rory Bremner traces his family's roots, especially those of his father, a distant figure who died when Rory was 18. He reads some of his father's wartime letters, which mention a battle for the Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch. Rory then travels to Holland to meet a man who was with his father during the battle, and discovers the pivotal role Major Bremner played in it.
