When she was host of Insight, Jenny Brockie asked Australians often difficult questions about their families, beliefs and darkest days. She departed the program in 2020 after nearly two decades but is back on SBS screens this month – this time as the subject, not the interviewer.
Brockie is one of eight prominent Australians tracing their family history in the new season of Who Do You Think You Are? Her episode will see the longtime media figure attempting to solve the mystery of her father’s ancestry. She says the irony of her profession is not lost on her – and that asking other people about their lives “was probably also a way of avoiding my own story”.
