But at least makes a bit more sense now!Chris Patonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073425769475523109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-60311435410908265442013-08-15T21:08:52.563+01:002013-08-15T21:08:52.563+01:00I've tried to get on the wavelength with '...I've tried to get on the wavelength with 'Family Tree' but it's just not working for me. Even though I do get that the writer is mocking stereotypes in the geni world and their fondly held views/habits, the humour is very forced and why on earth cast a ventriloquist and her monkey puppet as a sister who happens to be unable to function without using ventriloquism via her monkey puppet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-83638487438649030182013-08-15T14:52:12.983+01:002013-08-15T14:52:12.983+01:00Interesting - will have to watch again!Interesting - will have to watch again!Chris Patonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073425769475523109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434701420960162731.post-69233991280531300392013-08-15T14:24:49.123+01:002013-08-15T14:24:49.123+01:00Chris,

Then through his son Thomas Charles (b.1880), to Norman (b.1909).<br /><br />Agree the programme didn't make this clear, but Charles Patient was indeed Lesley's GG Grandfather.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742428310912864092noreply@blogger.com
