WDYTYA Series 4: #6 Graham Norton
« on: Thursday 11 October 07 12:45 BST (UK) »
I can't find a link for tonight's programme. I'm really looking forward to this - after 60+ years thinking of myself as English and Scottish, I've now found possible Irish links - and have no idea how to access the information.

Hopefully tonight will give me a few clues!

I was going to say Norton does not sound very Irish but apparently he was born Graham Wilson, which sounds even less Irish.

I think you'll find that most of them were destroyed in a fire in the public records office!  :-\

There are lots of Wilsons in Ulster.
