I know we only get an edited portion of the meeting with Maisie and Sheila, but Kim was so delicate and kind in how she phrased things to them when discussing her grandfather, when you know deep down she kept thinking "That son-of-a-bitch!"
Ms. Cattrall has such a lovely voice.
Back then, when men left women (or got kicked out), they divorced their children too. I once asked my Mom why my father couldn’t have come to get me for visits and she looked surprised and said, “Why would he have?!” It’s the kind of generational divide that leaves a person deeply confused, but it’s like hitting a stone wall. She understood my question as little as I understood her answer.
Gosh! That is sad! ❤❤❤
Sometimes the ex wife does all she can to prevent the father staying in touch with his children, sometimes some ex wives tell lies about their ex husband
I'm sorry for your pain. I can't understand how people can be indifferent with their own flesh and blood. I hope you know it has nothing to do with you. I hope you find peace of mind.
Thank you for the insight. Much appreciated.
And sadly back then Men could say their wife had mental health issues and they would put her in institutions for years ...she would then suffer with their barbaric treatments ..meanwhile the father gets to live w/o her and has his life with the children ...times were so different...no proof would be needed to prove any mental health issues ...just words spoken
I feel so bad for Maisie and Sheila. To find out all these years later that their beloved George Baugh was a bigamist who abandoned his children must have been devastating.
I am glad they were able to sympathise with Kim.. that must have helped her. But I agree so difficult for them... and then to take the new family to Oz!
The lovely Maisie passed away a few years after this
I think a lot of people as they get older are pragmatic about such things - and they hadn't seen him since the Suxties, he had been dead for decades, and he had gone to Australia without a by-your-leave to the rest of the family.
Maisie passed away in 2013
To be honest I think learning that about them may have answered some of the questions they had when he up and left with the family for Australia and never looked back. To learn that he'd done it before (only without the family the first time) might have given them some closure. And it brought them to Kim, and she to them, so that's one blessing.
"Would you love a cup of tea? I'd love a cup of tea. Right." That is the most beautiful, love filled statement in the entire video. Simple words but the minds behind them were filled with such joy at that moment it just felt perfect.
Was thinking the same thing! What a sweet family.
I was thinking the same as well. There was a real connection there between Shiela and Kim. Durham is filled with very welcoming and decent people. Turns out Kim's grandfather wasn't one of them. Emigration also tears families apart. The same thing happened with my grandmother, she up and left my own mother - took my mother's brothers and her sister and emigrated to Canada. Some people have no consideration for the feelings of others, particularly relatives. 😳
Tough women who accepted and dealt with their lot in life.
It's the British DNA in her. We love our tea.
I was only surprised she had been in her house for 5 minutes already and didn’t already have a cup of tea!
I love the question "Would you like a cuppa Tea?" and Kim's honest reaction She'd love a cup of tea.
Would y'like a coppa tea?
I'd love a cuppa tea!
I can sympathize. I never had a dad growing up. I didn’t meet him till I was 18. He had three other kids that he had was a great and loving dad to. I’ve forgiven him, but it really stung growing up knowing he accepted them but not me
A true Narcissist. If he hadn't wanted to be with his first wife he could at least have sent money to Kim's mum and her sisters. He clearly wasn't very destitute, he was able to give his own family holidays and nice clothes etc. Clearly he was a selfish man, unbelievable!!
And his own mother who was waiting by the window for him till her last days.
@@shafaghb Yes extremely sad and shows what a selfish man he was.
i realize it is kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
*_Wow!! Yeah he was wrong for doing that.._*
LOL...you have no idea what the actual story is especially what went on between the wife. What's unbelievable is you and other's acting like you know the truth buy a well produced and edited TV show. 🙄
I can relate to Kims experience with her family history. My grandfather did the same despicable thing. He abandoned my 26 yr old grandmother with 5 children in 1965 to run away with the nextdoor neighbor. He never sent them money or saw them again even though he had the means. I spoke to my other grandma about this recently and she said men back then did that all the time. There were no repercussions for them and no family law to protect the family left behind. My grandma died 20yrs ago and I found out this man is still living as a multi millionaire in Muskoka.
No family law? Even in the 1800’s women were getting child support etc. you can easily look up records.
A real creep in Cottage Country.
None of this happened 😂
Wow
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
'Do you want a cuppa tea?' means they like you.
Not at all, I ask anyone who comes in my front door.
They are like family now 😊
I remember such men when I was growing up. There was a degree of tyranny about them driven from wanting to show they were kings in their home and everyone had to fall to their demands. That lot are dead but they have left scars that are only healed by our kids never to carry them on.
Kim did well to see the ghost and then say goodbye to it
So true!
That male dominance mindset is still a powerful dark force..within the legal cartel.
Imagine a time when moving from Liverpool to Manchester is like disappearing off the face of the Earth.
It still is. It the same as if you moved from Leeds to Bradford you never return alive again.
A touching film. Kim is such a likeable, lovely woman. Sorry you were disappointed by your grandad, Kim. You are a testament to the fact that it doesn't matter in the end. What we are and do within our lifetimes despite our backgrounds: this is all that matters.❤️
Also beautiful and talented
@@danieldickerson3391 Yes, I think she's very pretty.
Spot on comment xx
What a beautiful gracious woman Kim Cattrall is.
pretty and gracious
My grandfather did it, too. I know it was quite a common occurance, but it still hurts. Grandpa left a wife with 4 or 5 children in Michigan when he met my grandmother and stayed with her until their deaths in the 1980s. Its just sad to know my father & aunt have siblings who grew up without a father....who we all knew as the most intelligent, hard working, kind, charismatic man on earth. I bet the abandoned wife might describe him differently. 😢
Wow...🙁
my mother told me her father died from a scorpion bite. she gave me this whole story about how it all happened. Turns out the truth is, he ran off with another woman and I didnt find that out until 25 years later.
😮😮😢 I told my son his dad was in JAIL. My son is autistic and it 💔 to hear him cry. MOM ws protecting U. ❤X❤X
I have a whole new appreciation for her after watching her on this. She's very sweet and soft-spoken.
Omg I would have never guessed for soft spoken she is. Truly remarkable! ❤
Right? Just shows how good of an actress she really is.
Shows just what a good actress she is because she's nothing like Samantha.
@@deecastagna9284 I just said that, lol.
@@rachybaby72 You said that LATER than deecastagna... Lol.
Kim you are so gracious and thoughtful, we could learn a great deal from your kindness!!
Blessings!!
This is an absolutely must watch until the end. I adore Kim Cattrall
A person absolutely lacking a conscience. I feel very bad for Kim's mom.
Mum
Unfortunatley I had a Father who did the same thing.
6:20 he looks like Kim in a way. Eyes are similar, I would guessed his face in a line up as her relative for sure.
I'm amazed that he abandoned not only his children and wife, but his parents and other relatives too!
I imagine somebody recognized him and he did a runner to prevent being found out.
My great great grandfather left his wife and children in 1907 and moved to Canada. Had another family and never spoke to his first family again. His son died in 1914 in WW1 and he never knew.
Thats really sad. Its noone elses fault but his
What a complicated and sad thing to uncover - and to cap it all for the 'ordinary' folk in the tale they find out they're related to Kim at the same time as they found out the darkness in their history.
Kim really comes across as a very friendly, intelligent, warm and modest woman. And it seems that the ladies picked up on that aswell. If an Englishman or woman offers you a cup of tea out of their own initative then that's usually a good sign LOL.....
I think she a bit pretentious.
This part was heavily edited in the U.S. version-this version is much better.
Would you like A coppa Tea ! That is code language in that area for everythings gonna be alright !
Very Northern spirit 😂
Someone must have recognized George on the street and he was afraid his location would have been revealed to his family so he left town quickly.
I’m from London and Kim Cattrall has always been an actress that I’ve always felt connected to she’s a War on smart funny kind human being and I just think she’s absolutely amazing
The gracious attitude of Kim is delightful ! Not a complete surprise because I found her sister so very delightful herself ! I won't use her name. though one of the names in this segment came up I found quite interesting. Would love to have a cup of tea with her! I found some of the comments from other people offensive and uncalled for. I hope and pray her family have some peace and closure I'm someone who it's obviously not like Kim and her family. Post-war England was a difficult place to be.. I was born in 1954 with a ration book... but there's no excuse abandon in your family! I hope the healing happens. God bless her and her family.❤🙏 Thomas Elliott, Comox.
Correction... spell check mistake regarding similarity to Kim and her family I apologize. Actually quite similar! When things got rough we put the kettle on!
Two ladies here lovely, and Kim. Quite emotional , very sad for all.
Love she asked "would you like cuppa tea" 🥰 xxxx 😘I wanted that cuppa with them to.
Thank you for sharing your story. My grandfather and great grandfather on my mom's side did (except for the polygamy) basically the same. It is heartbreaking. I feel for people who go through this kind of thing. God bless Kim and her family.
Having another family truly damages the children.
It’s amazing how many people excuse this behavior and would never allow a mother that same freedom.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged Please. So many women have walked out on their families. Nobody "allows" - they just do it.
@@wandertree as many as men? ;)
one of my great grandfathers brought his family from Derbyshire, England to Bruce Peninsula 🇨🇦 and then abandoned them - begins to explain my grandmothers disappointment frustration anger towards life - doesn’t excuse her attitude towards her family but begins to explain it - have always been fascinated in biographies - now I realize it’s because they help me understand myself - from one 🇨🇦 to another - thanking Kim for being so honest and apart of my journey 🙏🇨🇦
I hope his other family in Australia were informed before this aired. After all, they might stumble across it by chance of if they decided to do their own family tree. Then again, I feel sorry for them finding out something like this about a man they loved and thought they knew so well.
I'm sure they have. She had pictures of him middle-aged living in Australia. Must've been sent by them.
I think so because at end of episode it said they had been in touch with the half siblings.
no need to be informed.
Nothing to Do with them
Yes, they should know.
I understand that she wants to connect with her grandfather, but I don't think it was very realistic of her to expect him to regret leaving his first family behind. When people leave and cut their family off like that, they are the sort of people who can just put it out of their mind and not think about it.
Well there was nothing much they could do he died in 1974
@Mebrice Depace Yeah, so painful for him that he let his first kids live poor while he got a new life. So, hard, so terrible. Also, no one goes down 'for a long time' for bigamy, it's gonna be a few years at the most, and more likely a year or less.
He may have regretted it. If he wasn't legally divorced maybe he didn't feel he could risk staying in contact. Either way, smiling pictures don't show everything.
Who said she was required to be realistic??
Who really can do that???? Yuck
My heart broke for you. God.
I know how her mother and aunts feel. And to find out your half siblings was raided good life while you struggled.
Thank u for sharing your journey ❤️
Kim Catrell is so eloquent and has such a deep wisdom about her.... Just lovely.
I do genealogy research this is totally reprehensible and the pain it caused to this family. It was tough to watch. Good informationally
Very emotional episode. Thank you for posting
Kim comes across as such a different person from her famous series act
Because she is a great actress. The best in SATC. The others sound like their characters in real life.
I would hope so lol
It’s a fascinating series, and the people it involves. Life can be very complicated
My grandfather did that too. Twice. Very sad.
Kim is so articulate and graceful. What a sad ending though...but it just goes to show, family can be far from perfect.
No, that's much more than just about ''imperfections''. Imperfections in families are everyday issues, quarrels, little stuff. THIS is traumatic past for the family.
I found out this same thing about my biological father, (now deceased) and that he did this quite a bit, I found five half siblings. (And they suspect probably a few more out there) A few he married for a while. It's ironic because Kim and I had the same dermatologist at one point. lol It's sad about her grandfather. I'm glad she could see some photos though.
Many of us are in the same predicament; my great grandfather seemingly dropped off the face of the earth about 1906. He had small children, 4 sons, and a new daughter. My great grandmother told everyone he was killed in a railroad accident when his daughter was a baby. I can find no evidence of that story in any state. I am finding what I think is evidence of him having just deserted his family and ran off to California and married a new wife. Can't be sure...... I may never know for sure. Its kind of heartbreaking.
Though you may get closure on that story if there is a living dna trail and people willing to co-operate
Kim Cattrall not Kim Cattrell...Such a heartbreaking story hers was :(
Love kims accent. This makes me so emotional
Loads of people from the UK took the £10 package deal to both Australia and Canada. I remember my grandparents telling me about it.
The brother Gibbs, bee gees, went to Australia as £10 poms.
How incredibly brave of Kim to call a stop.
Coming from a dysfunctional family, I so appreciate the courage she has.
Definitely makes one think deeply about one's legacy and what one leaves behind! He was quite selfish narcissistic inflexible type.
I’ve seen her on tv but not much. Didn’t take much notice but she seems like a very nice person.
I am from Japan and love SATC. Now I married to my Aussie husband and my last name is BAUGH 😳
Well… now you’re part of the family lmao
in Japan men could have several women right???
Im not surprised about things we learn of our parents when they have passed. Secrets but it was their life
I bet he picked up and left all of a sudden for Australia because someone recognised him from his previous life / he got spooked. Curious if her half aunts / uncles have seen this.
Or, had another affair (with or without children) that put him on the run again!
@@kirbymaggard675 definitely! The scoundrel. Lol
Awwwww bless her, chin up kim x x
This strikes a chord , my ma RIP ,brought 6 of us up by herself ,got to watch this marvellous actor from the front row in Liverpool Playhouse ,when she played Cleopatra , nearly choking on a chocolate revel ...!!...Kudos to Kim ,peace and love from the wirral....E!
How sad… but it’s reality for a lot of people… Not all families are picturesque as a Norman Rockwell painting… We all have those relatives that are slightly off… Sorta weird tho hearing of her past family members due to her being so famous, we forget their just humans and people like us… I feel really bad for her finding out that he was in another town with a new family thriving… I hope this gives closer to her and allows her mind to rest… 🌅
It is very hard to discover things about our families and ancestors that have been hidden for years. However despite the hard facts that are not the joyful things we hoped we might have discovered, it is at least good to be able to know at a point where we can start to accept and heal as much as possible for ourselves. Understanding is part of healing. To understand we need to know first. That's why family history can be a good way to face the past be it difficult, surprising, joyful or sad. It helps us to appreciate ourselves more.
Admire you Kim Cattrall....
My Dad did the same thing . It sucks.
all is right with the world when sheila says "would you like a cup of tea?"
I wonder if he ran into someone or saw someone from his past and decided it was to close so they had to move.
He did not want his ex to find him so he ran to Australia... He was probably very scared that one day someone would be knocking on the door.
Lots of Brits were going there at the time on those cheap tickets, and Co Durham wasn’t the best part of the country for work unless you were a miner.
Aww Kim :( so devastating.
It wasn't just a betrayal by her geandfather... it was her grandmother as well, who ostracized her biological grand daughters. So sad.
I think Kim's grandfather wanted a son after 3 girls. He fell in love with Isabella and tried for a son, an old fashioned heir. Kim Kattrall looks gorgeous as always btw
He also wanted and needed a conscience and a backbone he was a cowardly man who didn't deserve children let alone a son.
I think he wanted to get away from a bad relationship. This Kim lady is a bitter person maybe it runs in their blood.
@@GABRIELLUCERO1 That's what divorce is for. And what excuse do you find for him abandoning his three children in poverty?
@@zuzanka1981 Divorce is so women can keep men from being happy by forcing men to give them all the money they make and just keep enough to stay alive and working.
My ex wife has not paid a cent of child support and the government will do nothing, but if it was me a man I'd rotting in prison.
Yes I was one of supper rare cases where I got the kids and now I have an ex who will not let me and my family live in peace by manipulating and using my kids as weapons.
@@GABRIELLUCERO1 And what excuse do you find for him abandoning his three children in poverty?
It's extraordinarily difficult to see our elders as People. Context has to be in firmly in place before the emotion lets loose❤
Very eloquent. You deserved so much better than him. I very much have had a similar experience.
Just crazy how some men startca second family while still withbthe first.
ONE of My half sisters and I finally met each other (our sperm doner was a bit loose. Went on to have 3 more kids. That we know of).
We decided to do our DNA to find more of our birth family ( fathers side).
In doing so, my sister found out our birth grandfather ( father's father) had children with the neighbor lady down the street. Had approximately 9 with our birth grandmother and 3 more with the other lady down the street. She passed tgem off as her husbands children.
Then here we come along and my sister let them know about everything. (They are all approximately late 60's on up.)
It's just CRAZY !!!
All this DNA stuff is going to letca LOT of skeletons out of the closet. Unfortunately, some of it may destroy lives.
Well, that’s the consequence of cheating on your wife and having other children.
well he ended up where he belonged. The land of the convicts. He must have had a natural urge to go there. lolol
THAT MAKES HIM A SOCIOPATH!!!!!!
CLASSIC NARICIST.
She’s a good person
I feel the emphaty of these 2 women for Kim Cattrall. She is not only stunning for her beauty but also her words. Right words.
One of my favorite actresses. So feminine and sensual. Stunningly natural beauty
Damn, I wish they would have traveled to Australia 🇦🇺, to meet the other family. This was a journey.
my aunt did this,,, and left everyone behind... carters... we miss them but life mustt go on
wallaces never returned only four times,, they visted,,
He moved there in 1960 died 1974 so lived there 14 years not 20.
They usually guesstimate the number of years. So 20 just sounds about right
@@azuchan6079 Oh I see. Thanks. I'm just to literal. 😁
I'm in Madrid bro
Mrs Cattrall is still a beautiful woman.
My family was so fractured, I'm probably the last one,never had any contact with anybody, my father and mother were I'm afraid guilty of causing the entire disaster
I don’t think George knew his life would be highlighted on television. Maybe he would lived life the same way he proceeded it maybe he would’ve made different decisions knowing people would dissect his life. God bless the people impacted by his decision. Sad tale
Just looking at Kim's face.... She was very polite but you can tell as more details came out she was FUMING 😡. I would be too. Back then leaving a family like that with no word...😢😢😢
Similiar story to my grandfather. Brought up un the workhouse he seemed not to have a conscience about marrying fathering children then moving on.
Kim’s uncle is 3 years younger than she is
What a nasty guy and kim was right not to Carry on the search to Australia the guy wasn’t worth it .
I’m sure any surviving children in Australia knew absolutely nothing about his real past . and isn’t it interesting that he wasn’t in his wedding photograph I wonder how he explained that to his other family . who knows Maybe the wedding photo was Cropped by his second wife who found out something later and did it in anger . we shall never know in case you haven’t seen the film MY BOY JACK kim was GREAT in it check it out !!
When was this first aired, the 90's?
Kim is looking through a local phonebook for people, and asking someone if they have a phone she could use!
2010
point?
@@Marcel_Audubon no one uses a phone book, and where was her own mobile phone?
@@mrlister2000 don't be a dope. What better presentation of the information than a phone book when you're scanning for names, not exactly sure who you will find? Do you think she would have found those people doing a Google search? She didn't even know they existed or their names, but there they were in the phone book, alphabetically as she scanned the page.
why didn't she use her own phone? Maybe her plan didn't have service over there, how the hell do we know? But what we do know is she's a smart lady closer to the situation than you are - why on earth 2ould you second guess her, fool?
Britain still had phone booths not that long ago. Cellphones and WiFi were much slower to be common there.
Kim is so lovely
That man was very decisive and spontaneous
So very sad. I'm so sorry your grand father was like he was.

@@connorthekid1 Thankyou. That's not even that far from mine.
So kool
It’s weird because her great grandfather George Baugh. Is also mine. It’s a small world.
The "10 pound poms" came over to Australia for a better life
Such a British thing, bit of bad news let's have a cuppa
It must be so hard to hear this
Yes, this is unfortunately too common and the word 'selfishness' is right on point. There is a judgement though.
I would’ve gone to Australia, his children aren’t guilty of what he did. They are her blood. I wonder if they found out and how they feel.
Given that the show shared pics of his time in Australia - family pics - there has to have been contact.
