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.

0:42 Greg-sized papers
So weird to see him being so well behaved.
And not being drunk
He did a documentary about the book and film Kes, it was brilliant.
he is very funny.
Well we all know he’s a good mommy’s boy. Mama’s boy? Mummy’s boy? Not sure how Greg would say it.
Ha ha
I love that he gets so excited with himself and just blurts out “ so the butcher was made up!” Then he realises who he’s talking to “And that won’t mean anything to you.” 🤣🤣
My name is Elizabeth Thomas and every time he says it, I get a bit flustered
I've watched so much Taskmaster, I forget what a nice guy Greg is in real life.
Lol- i couldn’t agree more. It’s easy to forget how kind he truly is.
There are no illegitimate children, perhaps illegitimate parents; the children should not be labeled. ❤️
Nonsense. Those children are damaged goods and should be labelled accordingly. These half-orphans inherit the weaknesses of their parents, be it a bad temperament or week moral fiber. At the very least, they are saddled with misfortune, and a lack of proper care as they grow up. Let them wear the stigma.
@@teaCupkk I disagree. Those children are wonderful and faultless. They deserve to be loved for their innocence and loveliness.
@@teaCupkk Harsh!
@@teaCupkk rubbish
It WAS the butcher!!
PLEASE put the show together as one whole show rather than breaking them up.
It's done to get around copyright rules
They get paid with ads, so more parts is more money
@@chelseahulmston9056 It's not about copyright since this is the official channel of the show. :)
If they do that, it stops them from syndicating the show to places like Dave, which is how shows make their money after they've been aired initially.
You get less views with longer videos
"he was a bit of a performer"
Doesn't sound like Greg's family at all.
And the fathers of illegitimate children weren't shamed. Nobody called them whores. Same thing happens today. Ask why.
Because we still live in a patriarchal society....
use to wait table n then moved to tending bar. more women called each other that than men saying that
they called other women sweetie or Honey to their face but out of earshot it was something else
No entirely true...father's of the lower class were shamed for illegitimate children. If a child were conceived out of wedlock...it was expected that the father would marry the mother...if he didn't he was considered a man of ill repute as well. Certainly not as shamed as the mothers, but not glorified either. The vast majority of people in history were living hard and oppressed lives...Men and women alike.
weird world. Children don't have to deal with society's unreasonableness
Hahaha today nobody gives a hoot whether somebody is married or not when they have kids in fact its positively encouraged. You’ve just heard a story about a man with no money faces prison for child support…….keep fantasizing about the non existing patriarchy you professional victims
That smile at 8:58 ! Greg will always have a boyish charm about him
anyone could if you are looking for it
anyone could if you are looking for it ?
The families not liking those illegitimate children has never gone away. When it’s not your fault.
It's not my fault? What a relief! I was worried.
My nieces were born out of wedlock, all 3 with the same father, my parents never had any problem with it nor shunned my sister. It is ridiculous to give humans the phrase "illegitimate" as if they are not a whole, proper person if a made up ceremony and vows makes children born to married couples "superior". There are plenty who have long relationships until death that don't marry and divorce is on the rise and those children pushed between 2 houses.
Sadly until 2-3 generations ago children born out of wedlock were indeed written up as bas….rd & it will have been on both of the Birth Certificates as well. It was a disgusting thing to do to innocent babies.
that title should have been given to nasty fathers not the kids they left that is why now they put the spotlights on bad fathers finally
Since that was the legal term for an illegitimate child, it wasn't disgusting at all. On the other hand, getting permission from the judge to use a racial epithet in court (a common practice in the Jim Crow era) was disgusting.
Lol, he had a second baby momma and couldn't make payments. Time changes, nothing else does.
He is so handsome.
Agreed
And so huggable!
Oh yes.
One gigantic teddy bear.
Who?
This is so cool, I tried doing some digging in my own family, but I found out it’s very hard to get people in another country to look for old dusty files and send them to the other side of the world
Not if you're a celebrity obviously. 😏
You could try the Reddit genealogy group
Porthmadog?! That's where Karl Pilkington spent all his summers as a lad! I wonder if anyone in his family is related to Greg's family...
That would be amazing lol
Karl mentioned that his big brother had a lot of illegitimate children. Could there be one or more in Wales?🤔
That was my first thought too
MAN-MOTHS!!
Well I admire that lady Elizabeth ,his grandmother father ,that Elizabeth took him to court for not paying for his children
It would be scandal
Great graphics!!
I love ham more and more.
Here in the States we have Henry Louis Gates’ PBS Show “Finding Your Roots.”
Equally heartwarming, uplifting, inspirational, surprising and shocking family detail are uncovered.
We also had "Who Do You Think You Are". It lasted for quite a few seasons.
Still current... new season is coming.
I am so grateful for my ancestry .
I imagine these are the same kind of things I'd learn about my great grandfather if I ever investigated my family tree.
Got drunk on a horse.
Got drunk and fell off some rocks.
Got drunk and knocked my great grandma up.
Maybe Greg and I are related.
My grandad was driving drunk and died in a car crash. His dad (my great grandad) was sitting at a stoplight in the 80's and was rear-ended by a drunk and killed. It was a shock when I discovered that his dad (my 2great grandad) had been a rum-runner during US prohibition. (textbook irony😏)
Well, nothing changed....still throwing the Fathers in Jail. Chances of getting any help from him is nullified, the future even more challenging.
If that lady in the thumbnail isn't related to him, I would be shocked (they are identical)
One question : When will series 12 and 14 be released on DVD ? And for that matter, the newest series ? Right now, my collection is incomplete because those two series haven't been put on DVD.
Don't know about you but I would NOT leave him alone with the documents so I can physically be with him longer lol
At about 40 seconds in there is a book opening sound effect used in morrowind.
HAVING BEEN A RECORDS EXTRACTOR FOR MANY YEARS, I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT THEY ACTUALLY DID LEG WORK AND FOLLOWED THE PAPER TRAILS. TOO MANY PEOPLE JUST TAKE THE WORD OF SOME IDIOT ON THE INTERNET WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT RECORDS CHECKING
"actually"
Irresponsible father’s are still rampant. The Welch were ahead of Tennessee in the 1800s. My ex NEVER spent even one day. Well done Welsh
Ahead of them for being irresponsible fathers, and your ex never even spent one day.... doing what?. Sorry, you've lost me....
you Ex boy belongs to the streets.
Ahh, my hometown, Caernarfon.
These are shorts...45 min would be great. I see that others would like that also. Not possible?
Appearing on one census with your grand-parents doesn't necessarily mean you're living with them. It could just be that you just happened to be spending the night of the census there. As a child, I certainly spent the night at my grand-parents' house occasionally.
Yes, thank you for pointing that out. With family history, jumping to conclusions without supporting proof defeats the whole purpose of getting to the facts of your family's past.
Then you would be visiting with your grandparents, not living with your grandparents. If it was a competent census that question should have been asked.
@@hrantgeorge2444 Have done a lot of research on the Victorian records, especially censuses. It was not always mentioned if you were a visitor rather than part of the household so still possible the child was visiting.
Yes, children from unwed mothers were known as “bastards”. I’m one myself. I learned about it when I was 15 yrs old. I’m 69 now.
Lyfli gweld Anwen ar y rhaglen yma! Dwi ddim wedi ei gweld ers i ni fod yn ysgol. Da iawn chdi Anwen.
I didn't know the name, but as soon as I heard his voice I knew it was the Taskmaster
Is this what Mr Gilbert does in his spare time?
Pretty cool... no matter how bad or good you see...
...I mean - HOW drunk'd you have to get in the 18th century to be pulled over for steering your horse cartridge wrong?
🤣🤣🤣🐎
not very
@@msjannd4 funny?? How?? Have you steered a horse attached to a buggy?? Try it please!
Anyone find out why he was living with his grandparents?
he’s somehow merged and compilobobulated himself with the realm of “funny” I can’t even look at him without a smirk.
"Compilobobulated" wow! Never heard THAT verb before!😂
@@Freiya2011 I was high.
@@emmahartley4408 I just love it!😂 It's like snorecough! Or smirkgrinning!😉😂
@@Freiya2011 I've heard of discombobulated but never 'compilobobulated'
I think Emma was high and a bit discombobulated.
I LOVE GREG haha
Why did the drawing look like him too
Me to my parents in my family in the 90s.. see my great gran parents were equally rebellious and naughty.. dont judge me
This is very strange
Smh he took his job to seriously. I know he was a butcher but he didnt have to sling his meat everywhere
Lots of Jones' in Wales...
Is he in ANY way related to Rik Mayall? I can't be the only person who sees it...
I def see it too!
Rik played his dad in man down
@@jamesbown8948 I just watched the Rik Mayall documentary King of Misrule or something to that effect. Davies even says that since his early 20s he was told he looks like Rik and when he got that show Rik was the first choice. So no relation whatsoever. Was a great little tribute to Rik it's here on youtube.
I wish these shows and wider society would start using the phrase 'ONE OF my/his/her/their great grandparents'
Why? Nobody says “one of my grandparents” because it is unnecessary. We all know that everyone has 4 grandparents and 8 great grandparents and so on. You don’t need to specify “one of”.
@@jax422 🤣🤣🤣
What? No, this is not a thing.
Happy birthday James a aster
I have all but one reception bar, says 5G.
But for some reason ive been getting the spinning wheel of (d€@th) nothingness most of the day!
We should get to deduct the times when our phones don't work and get a lower bill!!
At the very least, people would have asked him where he kept his sausages ;)
that's really ignorant
debtors prison, an institution that could be brought back
A Norwegian sailor being the father?
None of our family trees are accurate
that's wrong!
Well I was impressed when they dug up Richard III and they found his direct descendant in the male line and the Y chromasome was a perfect match, meaning none of the ladies in his written lineage ever played away, or at least did not get knocked up by anyone else.
2/8
A womans got to eat and a butcher can feed his kids you hope
Sorry, who is this guy? 🤔
I was gonna ask the same thing.
This is nowhere near as funny as Man Down.....
Yeah... this new season is a real departure
@@Morgan-ug2rt Now THAT's funny!
Not supposed to be! This is reality Brad!!
Greg Davies is UK's own Gary Busey.
You take that back!
Expected some inbreeding.
that wasn't common because someone always snitched
