Gordon Pinsent played Benton Frazer's dad in Due South.
Benton was played by the gorgeous Paul Gross.
A great programme.

I was watching "Frasier" earlier, and noticed that the Dad was played by a Gordon Pinsent...

 Another relative perhaps ?

Back to the subject matter!!! I heard a programme on Radio 4 not long ago with Edward Stourton, the Today presenter, being told about his ancestors, the Howards. At least, that's who I think it was!!  :-\ In which case, he will also be related to Matt Pinsett, and so on to God!
Best wishes, Judy :-))

I've only just watched the programme on the bbci player this pm (really enjoyed it) ......thought I would log in and see what everyone else thought of it...............my first thought was wow what a long thread!

In the programme I loved the way Matthew started by saying he previously had no knowledge or interest in his family tree and at the end he was completely the opposite! Finding Matt posting here shows he has "the bug" in the same way as the rest of us here! ;D

Matt - welcome to RC - as everyone else has said the best place to be on the web! Post any questions and let us all help you with future research!
