When Paul Hollywood knocked on the door of his brothers house in Wallasey,  I wish his brother  had said to him:   "If we knew you were coming, we would have baked a cake"

Justin Welby, (Archbishop of Canterbury) would be an interesting one. I wonder which Father he'd choose to follow?

Problem with this programme is they research quite a few people, before the show is commisioned to video. But they are looking for either the scandal or the tear jerker, to make it suitable for the non geanealogists to view. So many good people who would interest people like us, are discarded as being too plain.

Was Prescott on WDYTYA? I thought he was on the Welsh genealogy program "Coming Home"

Mine would be:

Rod Stewart
Ken Bruce
Andy Bell (Erasure)
Eddie Izzard
Deborah Harry (US series)
and my dad (get the experts solving my family mysteries!)

Eddie Izzard has been done ....

I don't think John Prescott has been on (unless I missed that one).
