Mark will be in "Who do you think you are?" !

I like that series, it's so interesting.

"Great British Bake off presenter Paul Hollywood, modelling legend Jerry Hall, Last Tango In Halifax stars Sir Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid, actress Jane Seymour, choirmaster and broadcaster Gareth Malone, stage and television actress Frances de la Tour, news reporter Frank Gardner, actor and writer Mark Gatiss and television presenter Anita Rani all join this year’s series."

For everyone who has no idea what it is, it's a British genealogy show. There are adaptations in other countries. And I'm sure many countries have that kind of show, we in Germany have one, too.

Martin was part of it some years ago. I also liked the Stephen Fry episode.

Thanks for the news!
I've watched Martin, Stephen Fry and Jim Parsons so far. I'd love to see Mark!

Jim Parsons...? Oh, thanks for that accidental information, Mattlocked!
I've only seen David Tennant so far and it's been really interesting.

You're welcome.
Some more accidental information?

By the way, Una had an episode, too.

and yes I loved Martins episode, too.

Irish people, you've been warned

Just watched Martin's episode (well, what I could find on Youtube, anyway), I thought it was very moving

Simultaneously chuckling at Mark being Mark again, and going 'aww'…
For those of us who might not get to see, what is he referring to? Our Mark is royalty?

His ancestor owned half of Northern Ireland!
