David Mitchell on Who Do You Think You Are?

gorillamansays...

Oh god damn you. I'm going to have to waste an hour of my morning tomorrow watching this shitty show for gossip whores who are for some reason interested in who someone's great-grandmother was just because they're a celebrity.

Stick a picture of David Mitchell to a turd and I would lick it.

OK, I'll have to preface this with a bit of a disclaimer then - my SO is seriously into all the genealogy stuff- so it's really her show- but it is an interesting history lesson usually. I often finish the show feeling depressed and sad for cotton weaving factory workers in 19th century Dickensian squalor.

I gotta admit I enjoyed it, it was really cool hearing about all the history of that region and how it collides with Mitchells' ancestors. All the relocating of the people that lived there, then the sheep farming and then the imports from other countries ruining their business. It was pretty cool hearing about all that stuff and it made the history that much more real. Good show...did Stephen Fry do one because I might've seen that one and just kept swooning a Stephen the whole time.

yeah, Stephen Fry did one in a previous season. You can also check out the American version on Hulu. It's an interesting contrast as they are lighter on the history details and bigger on the musical transitions and keeping things shiny. http://www.hulu.com/who-do-you-think-you-are

The ranch I grew up on had sheep when I was little then changed to cattle. We still raised sheep for 4-H, so one of the first thing I noticed was how those little Scottish lambs have such funny looking floppy tails.
