His dad’s laughter when he told her that her grandmother was German was the cutest thing ever LOL

@1Thedairy Год назад

I really like Julian Clary. There’s something very sincere about him. I would have liked to have seen the rest.

@sheilabernadetteclairemcin1107 4 года назад

Lovely interaction with his parents

@KF-co1yl Год назад

I really enjoyed this series. Particularly the empathetic way Julian felt about long lost relatives he never knew. I loved when he went into the house by the church and pictured his Great Grandmother leaving to walk to her wedding. Thank you.

I really like him he's so lovely. The funny thing us when I found out my grandad was from Prussia I said the same thing. I was so upset they were German not a word was said when I was a child. Mum use to say somewhere in Spain. I'm same age as Julian.

Wonderful to be able to visit the archives and the place to get in touch with ancestors.

@chelseagirl924 3 года назад

I agree with the dad, my maternal great-grandfather was of German origin, and even though he fought in WW1 and lost a leg, he never spoke about his German ancestry, as if he was ashamed. My grandmother would always play it down too. It wasn't until I was researching our family tree I found out his name was Wilhelm not William as we had been told.

@lightyagami3492 3 года назад

Wilhelm and William are the same name. It's a direct translation from German to English.

@chelseagirl924 3 года назад

@@lightyagami3492Why are you telling me something I already know? I didnt say they weren' t the same name just that he never ever mentioned his German name or his background or anything to do with being of German descent. I've lived in other countries that have a variation of my name and I use the English pronunciation, because that's the name I was given.

Julian is such an original, a one off, I couldn't imagine the pressure of having to make people laugh for a living, un like 99% of today's so called comedians he his the master of quick wit.

At least Julian knows about his family now. I love the show who do you think you are. I watched Jane Seymour’s one.

It's not bad news. "Mom I'm heterosexual" nothing like that

@rhiahlMT 3 года назад

The running joke in this American family was we don't care where we are from (mostly Britain circa year 1698) as long as it's not French. My paternal grandmother spoke fluent German so we knew where she was from, of course? When I started doing the genealogy, I couldn't get back to Germany. We were scratching our heads. No German in the DNA. There was a lot of French information there though. Come to find out, they were from the Alsace-Lorraine area. That is a mixture of both German and French in that area over decades. So, who knows? I don't really understand why she wouldn't talk about that considering she was here long before the wars. But, I guess it stuck.

I have Prussian Heritage, but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere. My Great Grandma's Doll that is over 120 years old is German, but could be much older since she was the youngest girl in the family

Prussian is not just current day Germany. Also includes areas of Poland and other countries today. Quite a large area.

@judysantmire968 2 года назад

Honestly, look at the Royal family. The British "Isles" means once upon a time everyone's ancestors came from the continent. In terms of DNA, most of us are mutts, including royalty.

@stuartwilkie4887 Год назад

I'm surprised dad didn't ask to be taken to where his German ancestor came from.

I found this episode difficult to watch. The prejudice is shocking, considering how England has been behaving throughout history. I felt a bit of Schadenfreude when I saw mum’s face. As the old Prussians used to say “Unverhofft kommt oft”.

His parents were probably born post war. Please don’t judge them harshly as growing up in those days there was still a lot of prejudice as many people lost their loved ones in the war. You just can’t judge people by todays standards if you were not affected.

@piffpaff9674 2 года назад

A general DNA test of every British person (European origin) is likely to shock the whole „yesterman‘s nation“: I bet they would find a literally awful lot of former French/German/Viking/continental Celtic blood…The British nation still seems to be obsessed with WW I and II and is therefore imprisoned in the past. Obviously many British people still cannot cope with the downfall of the (highly imperialistic) British Empire. I do like the Brits in general but no other modern European nation I know is so strangely obsessed with WW ii (even WW I!) You have to overcome that old past and join mentally the modern united European community, regardless what country. Modern Germans are mainly nice, good people.
