You Don't Know You're Born # Alan Davies

[acceber]

Thought this was pretty rubbish, a good concept but this had nothing genealogical about it and was a dumbed down version of who do you think you are?.

Even the opening titles and theme music were a rip off of who do you think you are?, and to top it off Alan D, one of my favourite actors from Jonathan Creek, QI etc came across as being quite disrespectful and didn't seem to take the programme seriously.

Bit of a shame, but then this is ITV.

I didn't see all of this programme as I changed channels after about 15 minutes as I got tired of Alan Davies playing to the camera. If I had wanted to see an inane performance I could have got  one of my children's chuckle brothers video's out. As Acceber has said the subject wasn't taken serious by Alan Davis which spoiled what I did see but by the sounds of it I did the right thing by turning over.

He started off as a rebel without a cause and decided that being middle class was good by the end of the programme.

He wasn't very enthusiastic about digging up his roots, so we had to make the most of the historical information along the way, bricklaying and property development in London's suburbs etc.

He did seem almost emotionless throughout so it was hard to like the programme.

I found it very boring

Well I recorded it but I don't think I'll bother watching it now.  Couldn't miss new CSI could I?

Just a point for Alan, He is an emotionless person which is why he is good in QI and Jonathan Creek.

It's from Wall To Wall, the same company that brought us WDYTYA.

Hi FocusMM - glad you managed to get yourself posted! 

Agree wholeheartedly about the prog - it bored me rigid!  I turned off half way thru and read instead.  The bricklaying thing was a right bore and buying meat in the market - what do the makers think we want to watch!  I won't make an effort to see next episode

Agree with you all. Boring - I too turned off before the end.
