Kate Burton - Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr programme

Does anyone have a link please to this last week's PBS Programme 'Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr' about the actress Kate Burton.

I'm trying to find out whether it's one of the PBS Programmes I can view for free, or if it is only available on 'Passport'. Apparently there is some interesting detail in the programme about her uncles working in the mines at Roslyn, WA.

No idea how you can access the episode, but I just watched it last night.
Apparently a number of her (great?) uncles ended up.in various places in the US.

Roslyn caught my attention because it was where the beloved "Northern Exposure" television series was filmed, and I visited the town in the 80s.

Indeed an interesting episode that we just watched on regular free PBS. We are in California. Not sure how it works in the UK.

Thanks, I can't see the programme (some programmes I can, apparently randomly), but I can read the script which is kind of the same thing, at least for my purposes.

Personally I've never been able to get my head round Northern Exposure but that's just how my brain works.
