I was also wondering if BBC Wales were doing another "Coming Home" series showing celebs with Welsh ancestry re-visting their roots (previous programmes saw Patrick Mower, Janet Street Porter, Rolf Harris among others) as a few months ago my mother saw a film crew in the next street in Tonypandy (Rhondda Valleys) filming Glyn Houston at his old family home.

Well, a series was commissioned and has been fimed; I took part in the filming of one of the episodes last September!!  The Olivia Newton John programme was supposedly the first in the new series, but it appears to have been shelved thus robbing me of another 5 minutes of TV fame!!  Sigh.... :(

Really enjoyed the programme.

Did anyone pick up on Boris's suggestion and pronunciation that the actress description of his ancestor might have been a euphemism for a prostitute.

Reminded me on the post

Lydart, it was his aunt 'Birdie' Johnson.  I should think this is a pet name rather than her given name.
