I would love for Steve McFadden, David Jason and John Nettles to do theirs on WDYTYA. In regards to Nettles I liked him in Bergerac as an action man, whereas Midsomer he was sedate and boring, and the show itself is quite boring.

Suspect David Jason's would be as boring as most of the characters he seems to have played.

What is the programme called - is it on BBCiplayer?

It’s the one presented by Will Millard, ‘Hidden Wales’, I think?

I really liked that one...

Amazing finds... Wish I could find a ‘gateway’ ancestor!

It was one of the most entertaining of all the episodes.

The follow up programme with him following in his Royal Ancestors footsteps was also very entertaining.

As one of your research names is Dyer, you may well find that Gateway.

Haha, - if only!

I seem to remember that the research path for Danny Dyer was rather circuitous... Wasn't it his Father's Mother's side that led back (eventually) to Thomas Cromwell, - et al?
