Thanks Simon; I'd forgotten that's on today !!
I've always thought of Boris as a buffoon ... I do hope the Beeb has managed to quell that side of him !

I'm watching the clock for this one too. Boris is one of the great British eccentrics...we either love 'em or hate 'em. I also suspect that he's not quite the twit we think he is.....................
No. I'm pretty sure he is a twit.

I know the history discovered was bit beyond us mere mortals but I though it was a good episode, with some interesting twists.
I also though Boris came across very well - I loved some of his sayings & expressions!

I liked his comment about how genealogy was 'democratic'.
He has always irritated me with his pomposity but I found the episode good enough for me to suspend that opinion, albeit temporarily.
