![Our Guy In Latvia with Guy Martin [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ymCS7eFSL.jpg)
In this special programme Guy Martin, best known as the daredevil petrol-head with a passion for speed and death defying adventures, dedicates a rare week off work to a deeply personal crusade: to journey to the Baltics and uncover the truth about his late Latvian grandfather, Walter Kidals. The exact details of Walter's early life have always been unclear and so Guy decides to find out what really happened to him - uncovering an extraordinary World War II tale involving conscription into the German army. Driving a 30 year old Lada Riva around the Latvian countryside, Guy discovers the site of his grandfather's old home and school, witnesses a full scale battle re-enactment and visits the war museum that was once a gunpowder factory. Guy's trip finishes with an emotional reunion with his long lost Latvian cousins. The journey won't just help paint a picture about his granddad's life, but it will also provide some answers about the origins of Guy's own unique personality.

Such an interesting programme. Not about the usual Guy Martin daredevil exploits but a serious history of his family from Latvia. Apart from the countryside, the Lada Riva, the meeting with his relatives - and DON'T they speak good English? - I learnt about the invasions in the past. Of how the Russians took over, and how the Germans were welcomed at first, having no idea of the cruelty and degradation that would be inflicted on the inhabitants. My only criticism is that like all brilliant programmes both entertaining AND educational it does not last long enough.
