Liked him and the First World War entertainment troupe bit. The Irish part was more garbled. Can anyone find Delia Farrell in Canada?

He seemed very affable, friendly, clever and quick. What's not to like! I'm sure you will.

I'd never heard of him but enjoyed the prog & liked him!
My only disappointment was not finding out the roots of his McKillops.
Being Scottish, I was hoping to at least find out whether yes/no to a Scottish ancestry  ;)

I have always liked Lee Mack, and found him very affable, and he made the programme quite informative and fun.

Have spent some time tonight following his McKillop line - the 'Billy Mac' in entertainment troupe in WW1 was William Alexander McKillop b.1889 Derby, son of an Alexander William Iffil McKillop (contractor) born in Tobago, West Indies in 1868, son of John McKillop (Shipsmith) born 1835 Liverpool, son of John McKillop (Shipsmith) born ca.1793 Scotland (an online tree states Oban, Argyll).

So ultimately back to Scotland, Rosinish!

I enjoyed the programme but agree there were quite a few loose threads in the stories. I wanted to know what happened to Delia?

Since they found Delia's name on a ship's passenger list bound for Canada and also found out that an employment agency there had paid for her passage, you would think that this line could have been followed up through censuses or possibly marriage records.  I found the last part of the programme a bit scrappy, after the length of time spent on the Billy Mac grandfather, interesting though it was.
