i watched it, thought he was a bit arrogant especially when he told that old guy he owed him a £1,000 pounds and his great gran was a bit of a slapper, thats coming from him, whos gg grandad had three wives no deaths found and scarpered leaving a 3 year old in a boys home. luck he didnt say it to me or there would of been a slap, him across the kisser

Sometimes they drag out evidence that anybody with half a brain would find in two minutes.

When he searched on Ancestry for Georgina Tongue it would have highlighted the Parish Record for the marriage which showed Frederick the Sailor's father being a Stockbroker.

When he searched for Georgina Everett he would have seen she remarried. Wouldn't you want to chase down any of her children?

He should have searched the Old Bailey records and then he would have seen Frederick the Sailor being accused, and aquited, of sodomy. I wouold love to have seen his reaction to that one.

No the best episode and in the end Fred became a sailor for practicle reason, not a rebellion or sense of adventure.

I suppose in the end it's made as entertainment, and they put or leave out just what they want!!!

I loved the Alexander Armstrong episode because no matter what he did, he could not find a poor person in his family

My daughter was in stitches when he was proud of his relative being a chamber maid to the Queen.

"So what!" I said. "Your Great Grandad exptied the chamber pots for thousands of citizens of Walsall!"

She thought that would not be as interesting to the viewers of W.D.Y.T.Y.A
