First shown 26 Oct 2021. Available for 11 months.

Presenter and former footballer Alex Scott delves into both sides of her family history.
Having known nothing of her Jewish ancestry on her mum’s side, Alex is proud to discover
that her great grandad was at the Battle of Cable Street in London’s East End in 1936,
facing down fascist followers of Oswald Mosley.

As the programme makes clear, the battle was with the police who wanted to clear the route for the Mosley procession.
