Who Do You Think You Are?: Olly Murs

Though from Essex, singer Olly Murs is actually a quarter-Latvian. His late grandfather Eddie was from Latvia, but Olly knows very little about this side of the family and wants to find out more. Olly travels to the circus in Riga, where his great-grandfather Eduard worked. Olly meets the circus's archivist Elvira Avota, who shows Olly documents relating to his great-grandfather and his wife Katrine and their extraordinary double act. At the Latvian State Archives, historian Daina Bleiere shows Olly documents that relate to his great-grandmother. Olly discovers that in 1951 Veronika was put on trial, accused of making 'anti-Soviet' statements
