Who Do You Think You Are?: Alex Scott (2021)
Season 18, Episode 3
3/10
Hate to watch anything with her on
28 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I find Alex Scott to be completely unlikeable, disingenuous, divisive and frankly an exceptionally poor sports and general presenter. She has probably benefitted more through the BBC's diversity drive than anyone else and despite all the exposure she has she still constantly grates on me.

The most interesting part of the show was her finding out that her family had been slaves and slave owners. Firstly, I'm surprised the BBC allowed this to be shown cause it doesn't fit their narrative and secondly, I'm really glad they did because as abhorrent as slavery is now and has always been it has an exceptionally complicated and diverse history and is not as simple as how certain agendas like to portray it being simply that 'white people enslaved black people' and it's far wider that this. It is important that all history is heard whether uncomfortable or otherwise so credit for doing this.

It this show had been about anyone but her then probably would have marked it higher!
