Who do you think you are? - Boris

[Heated]

on at 9pm

Fascinating stuff. Looks like old Ali was an unsuccessful quisling.

Am agog to know why that baron married his pregnant probably illegitimate gf

ooh forgot about this and i forgot to record it, when is it repeated?

It's great- am watching.

LOL he is so funny

What a Schloss

Don't know when it's repeated TSAP, sorry

I like his entusiasm for the project - and he has some truly remarkable relatives.

castle I guess?

pmsl at him saying he's got English royalty as well as all this European stuff. George II was effing German!!!!

And no-one's contradicted him.

Yes Heated, Schloss is castle.

not a big shock really he has to be aristocracy bless him bumbling loon

most of them are - German, that is.

I think that was the best one yet.

I loved that bit with Stanley at the beginning

I really enjoyed that.

Was that a bit of Zadok the Priest playing when he was wandering down that portrait gallery (as in, the music that was played when the Queen was crowned)? I'm sure it was.

It's on again tomorrow night on BBC2

Very good one. And he didn't cry.

Thanks GinaTonic.

caught last half hour of this when i got in, dp had watched it all, thought it was fab!..imagine unearthing ALL that royal blood!!!WOW!

really enjoyed this. Great show.

It was very interesting. Although I wasn't impressed with all the sub-racist shite: Johnson Sr making cracks about how if they'd kept Kemal as their surname they'd be on the Tory A list now; and Boris "reassuring" Henley voters he was "mostly" English.

But they are terrifyingly endearing our mad Eurotoff Aristo bumbling Tories aren't they? I like a bit of personality.

Glad he's not running my town though.

LOL, me too WilfSelf

The point he was making to the voters of Henley was that he's mainly British, being related to George II. And er, George II was German and never really got to grips with the English language and I suspect Boris knows that, it's not a secret and he went to a good school. Hilarious.

He also said "Stone the Crows"

Sheer bliss

DH and I were a bit about the way that it was filmed. The historian showing him the microfiche, sending him off to the bishop's chapel to muse about it, and then suddenly finding the handwritten note in the paper version? Yeah, right! But it did make great television.

I love Boris. He's vastly superior in every way to the thickies royal family on the right side of the bedclothes.
