I'm ashamed to say I watched it! I like Mark Evans and found the 'DNA programmes' he did last year in search of any truth behind the legends of bigfoot and the yeti quite interesting, but this was rather ridiculous.

What was the point of the programme if the provenance of the 'body parts' being examined couldn't be verified. And what on earth was the point of taking us to the rather pathetic Elvis fan who wouldn't part with his wart for any fortune?

Laughable!

I recorded to watch later, got to about the first ad break and deleted, boring!

Mark Porter is a great presenter and I love this enthusiasm when he does the rebuilding of cars, bikes etc. but this was dire.

Miss the William Marshall programme, but I know it will be on again pretty soon.

I found this dull as well and also gave up around the first ad break. The main problem for me is I didn't really care how he came about getting the DNA and far to much of the program was focused on this.
