Greg Davies's father made sure that his son was born on Welsh soil so that when Greg became a rugby international, he would play for Wales. Fortunately for comedy, Greg showed little talent for rugby, but he retains a sense of connection to his Welsh roots and, two years after his dad's death, wants to know more about them. Greg gets more than he bargained for when he identifies a wayward great-grandfather but is rewarded when the trail leads further back to the deepest Welsh roots anyone could wish for.

greg had such a sweet smile when he thanked that lady for his drink
I would have enjoyed this more if the playlist was in some sort of order 🤷♂️
Anybody else not being able to keep track of all the Elizabeths ?
My father did the same thing in 1957 in the middle of the U.S. He had 3 children in 1 year with 2 women; my brother and I were only 11 months apart, born by his young wife, and at age 40 I discovered he had another girl with another woman, born between me and my brother. Discovered this before DNA tests! Now with DNA testing, many families are discovering these “surprises”. But it’s real life and fascinating to research. My father’s family are Welsh so I hope to visit there sometime to do further research of my own.
based off your story, he's indeed promiscuous
Same thing happened to my great grandmother. She was engaged and pregnant by a man before he went off to be a pilot in ww2, but he knocked up his superiors daughter so....you know which woman he married. My great grandmother only found out from the newspaper.
Anyway, years down the read, the 2 sides of his family are re-united.
I'm still not used to how tall he is
6 feet 8 inches
Builder bloke stomach
@@CatzASMRnMore aww I have a couple of boys about that tall. There are some vehicles into which they simply cannot fit as drivers because the bone from the hip to the knee cannot bend.
What a beautiful town. The mountain in the background as they walk down the street. Gorgeous. Also, I love Greg ❤️ lol
Great is so very charming
Beautiful country. Naughty butcher. Most likely a very charming man.
Not per one of his other daughters. It’s later in the program.
Im not sure why we only get bites of WDYTYA and the playlists certainly help. However, this bite should play before the previous (and it will still be missing a lot) because the previous bite deals with where he went to after this bite.
William Owen was a playa.
Did William really name his daughter after his mistress?
Elizabeth was also his mother's and grandmother's name. So Ithink it's more of a family name thing (and also Wales needs to come up with more first names).
I know a girl with a weird name, I asked where the name came from and the mom said: " my husband's ex mistress was called like that".
Greg might be related to Fred Gwynne aka Herman Munster. 😉😁🥰
Bad Dong
6/8
William somehow got the idea that it was HIS job to “Sprinkle his seeds” all over Wales.
It’s possible everyone there is related.
😆😆😅
Does anyone else find it very telling that William names his first child with his legal wife AFTER HIS LADYFRIEND with whom he’s produced 2 children? He must really have been something. I release Elizabeth was a common name, but he could have chosen other names.
Elizabeth was his mother's and grandmother's name so he was probably going with family tradition and acting like the affair never happened.
You know anything about Adam Levine?
I would not want to know
William might have been charismatic to get atleast 2 ladies
It could be helpful if these videos were in order, its frustrating.
I love this man but he looks like hell
Yeah that shirt gives him no favors
Jessie B he looks so much better in the plaid shirt
just bcos she was “formerly Williams” doesn’t mean it’s the same Williams family.
I think this show should take a random person (me), maybe a Yank (me) who is 70% English/Welsh, 15% Scottish North Highlands, and show me where I'm from. And maybe enlighten me as to how different my life would be, if my Great, Great ancestors had not imigrated!
Isn’t there an American version of this show? This should be something they could pursue. It would be interesting. Taking a dozen of ordinary people of (presumably) different backgrounds and trace them back to the old world.
@@sorencyrano1413 there was a Canadian show called “ancestors in the attic” which was just like most genealogy shows, except with regular people as opposed to celebs. Usually they had some sort of family mystery they wanted to uncover which made shows interesting. Was cancelled many years back sadly.
@@historyrepeating thanks, I'm gonna check that show out.
You would probably died in a famine or in one of the clan fights 🤣
@@SurfergirlKH no doubt. I'm guessing there is a reason why my ancestors departed.
