Heir Hunters

Our TV Work:

If we look familiar, it might be because you may have seen us in the BBC1 series “Heir Hunters”. The programme films us as we work to find missing heirs, or recount cases that we’ve worked on –including some that still have us stumped and where we hope YOU will help us crack a case. It’s a family show and everyone can get involved –especially those with long lives and a good memory.

Back in 2004, Celtic Research’s Team began filming Series 1 of a pilot daytime series, which at various points, every network in British Television (including the BBC) had previously rejected.

Since then, we’ve all aged a bit, but the human interest stories were so popular, that the BBC produced 12 Series! We filmed the last program in 2018, but you can still find reruns of the show on UK Gold and The History Channel, where our much younger selves are immortalised.

Well, it’s been a long road for us and a lot of time in front of the camera without a personal stylist. Enjoy the clips.
