	Also saw him on WDYTYA and that was enough for me.

	No, I’d rather sticks pins in my eyes. I have only seen the trailer and that was about as much I could take of his voice and antics.

	A " professional cockney" if ever there was one. Didn't he win "I'm a celebrity" or something?

	It's a shame so many of you don't like his voice! It was quite interesting in a historical context. Food, clothes etc.

	Just shows, though no matter how 'posh' your deep dark ancestors were, their thousands of descendants can be all sorts :-D :-D :-D A genealogist on the programme traced his family further back - to Rollo Ragnvaldsson, AKA Rollo the Viking :-D :-D :-D

	True Maggie :-) I read a lot of English history have done for years, to my shame I rarely read my Scottish history :-D :-D

	I'm also of the belief that the majority of people alive today must have had 'posh' ancestors - purely to have survived!

	It is one of the best programmes I have seen and brought history to life in very imaginative way.

	I enjoyed the historical content, as I share some of those ancestors too, apparently. I already knew about the Rollo link, but not about the French King Louis iv. Our trees will diverge next time as we share King Edward i but not ii. But I do agree about his voice.
