It might be late news to most Aussies here, but Channel 9 are currently screening a series called "In their Footsteps". Each week the wartime history of an Australian serviceman/woman is researched and one lucky member of that family gets to travel to different parts of the world to visit significant sites, war graves, and even survivors who knew their deceased family member.
The way the story is presented shits me a little... too many "Pregnant Pauses" and suspense and drama building, rather than concentrating on the facts. But I still recommend it as a good watch and it can be a bit of an eye-opener for the Kids, too.
Sunday nights, 6.30 on the 9 network.
Shows that have already aired can be viewed on line:
