Patrick Stewart Retells His Findings To His Brother - Who Do You Think You Are 

I don't know why it's reassuring to see a man of Patrick Stewarts stature still trying to deal with why his Dad was the way he was. I too never understood what made my Dad so mean and I'm almost 80 now.

One of my great uncles was in RN submarines. His boat was serverly depth charged and was never the same again he spent the rest of his life in the asylum after attacking family members during the night after having a ptsd nightmare

War is hell

Both these men are ridiculously good looking.

Brother has a Yorkshire accent more than Patrick

I am confused, if this information was available why was it not given privately to the brother ? How does this help with the family? I think that this would be a great subject to discuss and totally relevant for RU-vid if the brother had said yes I had discussed this with you and processed it and here are my thoughts. Otherwise it strikes me of shock journalism

Patrick Stewart tells his brother that their dad had super powers. Patrick: Once he saw this nurse in Northern Italy and he stared so hard, her clothes fell off... and she scrabbled like mad to pull them back on, but he saw everything. Trevor: Everything?? Patrick (nodding solemnly): Everything. A little "Extras!" humor.

Do you think he takes care of his brother ,Sharing his wealth? I bet he doesn’t

Patrick Stewart a Remainer bum.

“There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.” -"Dune" by Frank Herbert

That moment when you realise your parents are just humans

My father and uncles, that entire generation, had to deal with the aftermath of the war. The physical and mental effects lasted for many years.

I lived with Trevors family for awhile and played charades with them and Patrick when lucky enough to meet him. I was at Business School with Trevors son. Trevor and his wife Patricia were the most wonderful people you could meet. Despite the obvious challenges Trevor and Patrick faced they have done amazingly well. So lovely to see Trevor here again, I hope you are doing well, I treasure my memories from Mirfield. Sean...

Did not think I'd see the Stewart brothers on this show. Man what a whirlwind of feelings for me. Never met my own dad. Captain Picard was th closest thing I had to one.

What beautiful kind souls Patrick and his brother is…I’m sure their mum did such a fine job raising them…and Alfred I’m positive would be so proud of his sons ❤️

They are both so sweet despite what they dealt with and saw their mother go through.

An uncle of mine was wounded in Vietnam and suffered from PTSD. It was still largely misunderstood at the time. He became an alcoholic. He had difficulty holding down jobs long-term. He was in pain. He died from liver disease at only 59. Despite his troubles, however, he was still much loved by his siblings and nieces and nephews and not forgotten.

It’s good Patrick’s older brother recognised that life wasn’t always the best with his father and this was due to the evils of war and the effect it had on him and once in a while it would have come out. I suffer with something similar

I had the same experience with my dad who was a vet of WW2 ..never knew the pain he went through every day dealing with those memories..until he got the cancer and told me the horrors after a morphine dream.

As the son of a WWII vet with PTSD and an OIF vet with PTSD myself, thank you for sharing your father's life.

Interesting conversation. Lucky to still have each other as brothers. My wife's grandfather came back from the war a changed man. His family went through similar bad experiences as a result. Sad that we as a species have to contemplate such things. Will there ever be a time in our future where war and suffering are a thing of the past. I highly doubt it but I'd hope that I could be wrong.

Picard meets his Brother. His brother is upset because he joined Star Fleet and left his brother to take care of the vinyard

I can't imagine any person coming home from military service and not having suffered from PTSD.

I was in a terrible car crash 4 years ago. During my stay in a rehab hospital, a psychiatrist spent about an hour with me. At the end I asked him if I would have any PTSD. He said, "No. You talked easily and in detail about the experience." It's when a person can't talk about what happened that that they become difficult, often blowing up at almost anything.

They're both just so freeking lovely.

As the son of a combat vet, this resonates with me. My experiences are thankfully different than the one's talked about here, but I'm glad for light being shown on it.

Patrick Stewart’s own son - Daniel Stewart, who played the twenty-ish boy wanting to pursue a musician’s career in Star Trek “The Inner Light,” and has since gone completely bald himself - is the spitting image of his grandpa (Patrick’s father) Alfred.

Wow. I feel so emotional and touched by the revelations about his father. So amazing to have the picture of his father re-focused

Watching this, I couldn't stop thinking about the episode he did on Star Trek where he comes home, after the dealings with the Borg ... His Character was dealing with Post Dramatic Stress. Can't remember the name of the episode...

Both have beautiful voices so clearly spoken and very soothing tone🥰

I can so relate to this. My father was also abusive, to all of us in our case, and although he has been gone for many years I often find myself reflecting on what it might have been like if I could talk to him about our past. One needs to feel empathy for our parents because they are people too, and they also had unpleasant experiences when they were young. I feel the best we can do is take from our own experiences and chose not to repeat the things that were bad. Try to leave others feeling better than when we meet them.

You are a good man Sir Patrick.You & you’re brother are very brave.To revisit what must have been horror & humanising you’re Dad with a view to understanding & even forgiveness & acceptance.God bless you Gentleman

As a survivor of family domestic violence, it's so hard to condemn the ones we love even though they have treated us so very badly. That doesn't excuse their behavior, but it makes the receiving end all that much more confusing and difficult to sort out! They are deeply troubled people who often make life chaotic for everybody around them. Help is better than it was even 70 years ago, but we have a long way to go in that area.

Such thoughtful and kind men, given what they endured. Bless them all.

I've drunk many a pint on that bench!

I think pubs, bars and VFW's were the only therapy available to too many soldiers.

My Uncle and Father were both US Marines in the Vietnam war. My father came back moderately fine...my uncle is still in rough shape and you can often find him sitting outside his house at night just scanning the scenery

His brother seems like a lovely guy.

Audie Murphy wrote about his experience with PTSD, he was one of the first Americans to advocate for the mental health of soldiers. To his dying day he slept with a loaded .45 had reoccurring nightmares and touble with personal relationships. The most decorated veteran in WWII was tortured until his dying day by what he had to do in the war.

Oh my God, Baby Picard was freakin' adorable!

I can relate to this video. Both of my parents experienced great suffering and trauma in England and Europe in WWII. They rarely spoke of it because it was obviously too painful. Anger and rage? I grew up with it and thought it was normal. But back then there was no such thing as "Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome" and no treatment. People just sucked it up, kept it inside and got on with life.

Pretty sure there is science out there now showing that people who have suffered concussions or repetitive blows to the head, like being shelled would do, can lead to the person seeking out much riskier activities than they were comfortable with before the injuries. That may explain why he became a paratrooper.

I'm going to say this as a guy that was raised by a marine that had a very messy NAM war history past that the spot his brother was sitting in was probably not the spot his dad would have sat. Most people I have met with PTSD generally speaking if they go out to eat they want to be sat in the corner where they can see all the exits and entrances. Rarely if ever will they want to be near a window or where anyone can walk up behind them. It's a matter of always being prepared for the worst, because that is how you survive and come home. It's a habit I picked up and never understood why until it just made sense in my head at some point. Being raised by a soldier is no cake walk to begin with being raised with one who survives that level of terror and lives with it silently is a whole other world of hurt. My father never talks about his time in the war, but I can recall him flipping out when I found a box of his things from then and asked him why he had a medal shaped like a purple heart. I was probably 8 or 9 when I got that lecture to never touch that box. Maybe once he dies I'll get the truth from someone. But he will never say. Ironically my dad was a lot like his father, and yet my mother always had a huge crush on Patrick Stewart. But this definitely gave me a better insight into what caused his perspectives that led him to be who he is.

The horrors of war, especially in those times were unimaginable. You cannot expect these men , or anyone to go through the horror of war and not be mentally and physically scarred for life. More focus on mental health needs to be centered on troops coming back from war. The stigma of mental health needs to be removed. Mental health is just as important as physical health

Post military service, I'm an avid supporter of understanding those affected. But lady (or gent), if your (wo)man is a danger, don't stay -- get out! Get counseling and help each other, but do not linger in an abusive relationship.

His brother has aged pretty well considering he's older than Patrick Stewart. Good genes.

Their speech patterns are remarkably alike

My father was a brutal and quick tempered man. I wish he had been shell shocked. It might have made him a real human being.

Love that Patrick Stewart has no problem being affectionate towards anyone he loves, male or female. English (of course cannot say every English person is like this, but I know firsthand it is typical. My father is German, I do not remember him ever saying I love you until I encouraged more affection in late teens.) older generations and father's issues...most would really have problem with affection. Shows what a strong, considerate and genuine person he is!

God bless our veterans and I thank them for their service.

**Briefly expects him to be going back to his beautiful family and idyllic farm in France** Oh no...wait...that was Jean-Luc Picard 🥺 Stewart's Dad was an abusive alcoholic

Yeah uh not all with Shell Shock/PTSD will want to speak of it. Case-in-point my great grandfather and my "dad". Both were forbidden basically, including speaking about the wars they were in. btw living with my "dad" was an abusive Hell Hole and part I think if not all was due to being in war (Vietnam specifically). Also we were good kids, but he blamed us for his PTSD 💩. That was just as 😱 as dealing with his Sociopathic 💩.

The pub at the start is now called The Dusty Miller, The round about has gone but the red phone box is still there

War is old men playing political chess while young men the pawns.

You are a good man Sir Patrick.You & you’re brother are very brave.To revisit what must have been horror & humanising you’re Dad with a view to understanding & even forgiveness & acceptance.God bless you Gentleman

mark strong's voice is a joy to behold...honestly

0:50 I feel like I’m watching him deliver a line on Star Trek with the same voice inflections, cadence, and neck shrug

This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!

It’s lovely to hear the Yorkshire accent creep back in!

"Resistance is futile" - Ironically, watching an ad for a Borg game before video starts : )

The healing psychological benefits of this type of Family Tree Forensics are far greater than any individual therapis that fail to examine how psychological traumas are transmitted across generations. ... When you can teach a man as brilliant as Patrick Stewart something about HIMSELF, you've done something amazing.

Anyone who goes through any type of traumatic event can be affected. Maybe not PTSD but such trauma can cause a person to have problems coping with little things in life. You have to wonder of all the major terrible events through the ages how many generations were affected before it got better. My own ancestors were Irish who fled Ireland in 1870 after the famine ended in 1850. It makes me wonder how much anger my dad has is from his dad and so on.

Captain Picard returns to earth to find out more about his father Earth security forces officer Daniel Picard.

I miss this section at the end of recent series. I wish thr producers would reintroduce it. Thank you for posting this.

This explains why Picard was always so hard on Wesley.

What they used to call shell-shock is what is now called PTSD.

. I suffer from Shell Shock. Have you seen the price of Oysters these days ?

I teared up watching this. My youngest is career military and has been in many kill or be killed situations. I worry very much about future will being after retiring in the very near future.

phantastic. All the ways they are talking to each other reminds me of my family that tries to hide trauma behind pictures. And Patrick's brother just starts unraveling. I'm grateful for that.

his brother looks like their Dad, but his expression is so different. 🌷🌱

I thought his brother harvests grapes in a huge wineyard in France

I'm now thinking that either Patrick or Trevor should write a story about their father Alfred. Another thing I noticed is that they never said what happened to Alfred's eldest son, Geoffrey Stewart.

Respect to Trevor for saying he needs to go away and think about it.

It would be amazing to have Patrick's brother come in for a guest appearance in Star Trek Picard. Perhaps as some character that helps him come to terms with his new identity as an artificial lifeform.

I Wish the clip was longer could listen to them both talk for another couple of hours

This was filmed shortly after they got into a fight in their family vineyard.

Patrick and his brother have the same head shape and their voices are similar.

Thank you for sharing such personal insights and feelings. Maybe this will help others to understand and find some peace with their families and past. After all we are only human and the mind can only handle so much....

Two thoughtful men. Much praise.

A wonderful program. All should view it. All should discover their own personal family’s history. The tools to do so are there like never before.

Walk a mile in their shoes.....

He's not re-telling - he's just telling. Just saying.

From one Stewart to another - you have my sympathies

*shell shock* is what's known as "the 1000 yard stare.* It's the point where your mind has literally become disassociated from the body but the body still functions. There a varying degrees but the most common type is physical lethargy... you're basically a sitting duck...and the cause all too simple: a lack of sleep. The physiology of our minds requires massive amounts of blood flow to circulate about and "why we sleep"(perchance to dream) is no different from control/alt/delete for our computers namely deny the activity of thinking to our minds so our bodies can heal and be energized. And of course this is what makes a great soldier: not "shell shock" but how one recovers from said condition. From my personal experience the only time I ever felt truly "alive" was in Battle in the wild. There was something that formed a release for me that oddly enough filled me with rage towards my fellow soldier in the circumstance. It sounds as tho your Father was very much the same way....this whole thing of being brought to life precisely because of the total and wholly uncertain nature of the circumstance.

bloody hell they look so alike!

Did the brother mumble about years as they met? Years since they've seen each other? Such a regular fact for families. England, including Scotland, is small in size. Yet families manage to not see each other. Mine included. Go forth and tell em you love them

2:39 - 2:42: Picard listening to dnb

I wish I'd had this conversation with my brother before he died. Fathers can be a proud bunch who are only doing their best and sometimes put into some seemingly impossible and difficult situations.

"the greatest generation" they say that generation and the one previously contributed to the most horrific things in modern history, contributed to their own trauma and contributed to the sorrows, mourning and regret of several generations after them they were never the "greatest generation", they were foolish and naive and they pay the price even to this day because every single one of them realized what a human being is and what war is really all about with that said we should all be thankful to every single one of them for showing us first-hand the horrors of war and always remember so that it may not happen again for as long as possible

It's amazing, isn't it? That the denial of direct cause and effect can be so strong that good people are forced to normalize such profound destruction to their sense of self. Military. Industrial. Complex.

Trevor is sound. " ah that's good "he says after a good gulp.."

When it was appropriately called she'll shocked. Post-traumatic stress disorder takes all the human out of the ailment.

What's truly amazing is this pub still exists. Most businesses don't last a year, let alone decades.

my own father was a demon never violent mentaly crushing

My family lived across the road from The Dusty Miller, on Flash Lane, in Royd Villa, that was split into 3 homes, my mum went to school with Patrick. My uncle remained in the house for quite sometime, after looking after my grand parents, then sold it and moved to Huddersfield in the 90's. Mum came to Australia in the 60s. Cheers

One have to love british people stoicism, they basically said "So Dad was violent towards Mom and our childhood was awful and now we know is because he suffered from PTSD and probably alcoholism. Yes, ....that may affect my memories of him."

very sad really, but the lads seem to have turned out ok

I wonder why they changed the name of the pub,from the Dusty Miller.

Shell shock = PTSD

So strange hearing a voice so close to Patrick's coming out of his brother.
