Does Anybody Give A Toss About Minnie Driver's Great Granddad?

[Khandro]

Isn't this all nonsense? We each have 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 gg,parents, 32 ggp, 64 gggp, 84 ggggp, 168 gggggp, and yet it is presented as if it was some form of direct linear, significant progression.
The fact is, we are all related to one another.

Reserved Air-force historian," your father put out the fire, inflated the life-raft, swam back to his sinking plane, rescued all his injured comrades except his best pal, Snowy, who was dead & went down with the plane.
This had a devestating effect on him and he ended up in the Asylum."
Self-effacing Hollywood actress, Ms Driver," I know exactly how he felt, the movie business can be tough as well."
I turned it off,then. ;-)

Surely the point of the programme is to investigate one's forebears, of which we all have many to the powers of two, if you don't think it's "interesting", then don't watch the programme. I don't think many programmes are of interest to me, hence I don't watchthem, I don't watch, then come on here to moan and attempt to be superior.
PS, I too don't know who she is, and no, I'm not in the judiciary!

Was she the one caught shop-lifting?
We all have more ancestors than all the people who were ever born. If you know what I mean.

it's interesting, knowing where you come from, your lineage.

he was 18 years old, would you have done what he did, bravery beyond the call of duty, not to mention the only one to be killed, that he couldn't get out the plane was his best pal. He ended up in a mental health hospital, not once but twice, yet still went back and carried on, going up the scale to become a flying officer, commendable i would say, and not something he talked about, they didn't then...

ummmm; //I just don't understand why people watch programmes and then come on here to moan about them.//
Errr.. well I confess I didn't, I only saw the end of it while waiting for the news; she knocked on a door of an elderly lady she had never seen before and and made a theatrical entrance talked gushingly to someone she had absolutely nothing in common with except they shared the same distant relatives, I thought it might have been more interesting if she had gone in the house next door! (I actually find Minnie quite attractive though. :-)
