Even his response at the end of the BBC report is arrogant and puerile.  None of this endears him to me!

Clarkson can be a PITA at times but the programmes that he has done on engineering history and military history have been very good.  He acted as proposer of Brunel in a BBC series to vote for the 100 Greatest Britons, since then he seems to have become quite a fan of Brunel and was given an honorary degree by Brunel University for his work.  He did one programme on the history of the VC when he discovered that his father-in-law had a VC, Clarkson's wife did not know her father had the award until after his death.

Write up in our Sunday Mail today about the Australian episodes involving Ita Buttrose and Cathy Freeman. What was written tallies so far with what we managed to find! I've now found the WW1 record for one of Cathy's ancestors.  :D

Write up of tonight's episode in the Television programme booklet suggests that tonight's episode about Jack Thompson should be interesting.

Hi guys
Well the first Aussie WDYTYA has just been aired - our wonderful Jack Thompson.  Great show.  Really enjoyed it especially the bit where he finds out his ggg grandfather was a convict, sentenced to life for highway robbery.  Our Jack is not only a great actor who has one of the best speaking voices around and can read poetry in such an emotive way, but is a very proud Aussie.  He has also been a bit of a 'lad' in his day so having a highway man as an ancestor really suits his persona.
Hope you Aussies enjoyed it as well.
Next week Kate Cebrano.  Should be another great show.  Can't wait for Cathy Freeman.
'Bye now

Ooops, sorry guys.  Hope I haven't spoilt it for anyone.  Didn't think about our Qld and WA friends being behind us.
Hope you liked it as well dee.
Cheers

Tis finished in Qld - If you live in WA - stop reading!

- I liked the beginning (the shots of Sydney that had to happen) and the end (the Royal Australian connection  :D) but I thought some was a little pointless - the diary of Banks  collected by a g g uncle who ignored Jack's family & the trip to Ireland which added little to the story (but beautiful to see).

Thus said - I know there is information about our first fleeter somewhere at the Mitchell Library - I would adore someone to find it all for me - and show me around  :)  - One day!
