Jeremy Paxman's not sure he's interested in family history, but he does love social history. However, he quickly realises that his family's story is inextricably linked to that of Britain, in particular to the working-class communities in Glasgow and Bradford. He traces the life of his maternal grandmother in the Salvation Army and the migration of his father's family from Suffolk to Yorkshire.

In my paternal great-grandparents wedding photo, my great-grandmother is seated & my great-grandfather is standing... but it is not because he was being a gentleman. It was because she was over 6ft tall and he was only 5'5" and they didn't want her towering over him in the photo.
It doesn't make much sense, him doing wdytya and then saying he's not really interested in his ancestry. I think he's just over-concerned with appearing tough and cynical. But if I remember rightly, later on he does get tearful about the poverty and stigma that some of his female ancestors had to endure, which shows me that he's not such an eejit after all.
I'm in Australia and I like the UK version.

Sounds like a prat.
I don’t know this guy. Who is he?
ANCESTORS////
He seems to like to try to humiliate the shows staff. Who do you think you are is a good question for him and not about his ancestors. More about his arrogance.
He behaves very rude and snobbish.
Who rings the bell of their parents house ?? Surely you’d have a key 🤷🏻♂️
