Ricky Gervais had a fairly large part in an early Dalziel and Pascoe. He was the student who plagued Pascoe for many years.
Sorry can't remember his name as in the cast list, but it was not Ricky Gervais. He must have been using a stage name and has  now reverted to his real name.
Sorry, not really relevant, but just thought I would mention it :-\

Mum suggested Cliff Richard - lol which was no surprise :p

Dad said Pete Waterman - he wants to know if he - like us - has a railway history back in his family. Dads a railway fanatic like Pete and I have 3 out of the 4 'sides' of the family working on the railways for generations before either dad or I were around (lol I confess, I love the Old Steam trains too!)

I would just like to see someone from this area  - theres enough Celebrities gone into acting and Sports from around my area (Oldham) I am sure they could find someone!

I don't think there's much chance of seeing Cliff on WDYTYA..... there has always been speculation on his mother's ethnicity (some allege that her roots are in India), and he won't talk about it.

Mind you, if they did do Cliff and Jackie Collins, it would save a lot of research money - nearly 200 years in one generation  ;D

RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

As Alexander Armstrong seems to be on the Beeb quite a lot now, would he qualify for a real WDYTYA to follow his spoof version? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c65QRaR16io

I've always though there would be a lot of comedy mileage in having the Queen as a subject (so to speak) of a spoof version The Queen on a train to Windsor, wondering what kind of skeletons she might find, her surprise at finding statues of gt gt granny all round the world, that kind of thing. ;D

Did anyone see the mention in the September issue of Ancestors, that Michael Parkinson was approached?
He apparently told researchers that he thought his family history would be too boring.
The researchers did their stuff...and came back and and agreed with him!

Funny you should mention Ricky Gervais.

I have just this morning discovered I am related to him..lol..
So an episode of WDYTYA with him would be of most interest.

But surprisingly..I don't really like his comedy....apart from Flanimals.
He comes across as little arrogant...or is it just me?.
