Who Do You Think You Are (UK) - series 22 announced

I like the duracell bunny comparison - clever and accurate!
Re the "Young" programme Tuesday evening: Better than I'd expected, although the Royal links did seem a bit "Danny Dyer" - and not quite clear exactly how the in-between worked to link the very earliest to the known family history /miniature paintings already laid down. Perhaps that's just me, missing something?

I found it an odd programme. Spending half of the time going through his grandfather's RAF career then a quick world tour mentioning the 2 WDYTYA buzz words Ireland and slaves. Then a quick unrolling of a family tree and we are into the 14th century and 2 kings.

Mind you an odd lot of ancestors.

It did jump about a bit and there were lots of generation gaps, but the documentary information was interesting stuff.  I enjoyed it and Will seemed genuine, unlike some of the actors we have seen.

Oh think I must have missed an episode?  The last one I saw was the Fred one.

I missed the Fred Sirieix episode but have just viewed his journey down the generations on the BBC website.  His reactions to every discovery reminded me that I had gone through the same gamut of emotions  when I came across sad and happy events.

I remember seeing singer/actor Will Young on an early TV talent show.  I also recall feeling quite maternal about him, which I thought was due to his demeanour.

However, now that I've seen his journey I think maybe back in time we could have had a tenuous  family link.

As for the Will Young show . It was entertaining and good to hear about the Grandfather's life . The only part I thought was "corny" was going back 14 generations to a King!. This is too far back .

I have 14 generations going back from myself!
Add in my daughters and grandchildren and I have 16 generations on my tree.

I don't consider that as "too far back".

  But did you get back to a king?

  But did you get back to a king?

I wasn't interested in convoluted sideways lines!

But I do have a link to John Constable (RA). His grandmother Judith Garrad is my 6xGreat-Grandmother!

His Aunt, Ann Constable married back into the Garrad family.

Constable far more noteworthy than a tenuous link to a long-gone King!
I'm quite delighted that I've no Royal or noble connections anywhere! Quite proud of it, in fact.
