David Walliams - Who Do You Think You Are?
Last Monday night on BBC One many of us were glued to the screen to see what family history story was going to be revealed in David Walliams' episode of Who Do You Think You Are?
In many people's opinion he came across as a genuine person and while the war experiences of his paternal great grandfather was perhaps a bit harrowing for some (John George Boorman, joined the Grenidier Guards to serve in WW1 and suffered "shell shock" as a result) the story was fascinating.
In the second part of the programme David was introduced to his tenacious maternal great-great grandfather, William Haines who became a succesful showman despite being blind.
