The tragedy is that his grandfather may have been born with syphilis and manifested in his teenage years. People still take this horrible disease too lightly.
As someone from the US, I'm really enjoying viewing segments from the British version of this TV show. However, I really wish that the segments were presented in the right sequence on TH-cam, and that there was no skipping around from one celebrity to the next. The stories are difficult to follow otherwise, and I find this disconcerting.
is it possible his exposure to the chemicals and the stress (both mental and physical) caused a relapse of his syphilis? It would seem he had more extenuating circumstances against him than for him. If he hadn't been exposed to the stress, he may not have had the relapse but again; extenuating circumstances. His diet was probably rationed and depending on how rationed it was, he might have had to eat horse meat in which case his immune system could have suffered and opened him up for all kinds of trouble. It would be easy enough to say that many factors killed him but likely as not, he was more of a war casualty than just someone who suffered from tertiary syphilis.
Oh, I have loved him since I was very young. Lovely man.
Warwick is a legend full stop
Very sorry to hear about your Grandfather Mr. Davis. Also to know that syphilis can remain dormant for years. That is truly scary.

Peoples family histories are fascinating. Love Warwick.

One of my favorite movies as a child was Willow!! Warwick Davis was my character in that movie.
Oh! My gosh! Honestly i can totally understand how Warwick Davis feels when he finds out how his great grandfather died. And who was behind his death!
so sad to think about the pain of human beings - those who've passed and those suffering today...
Warick Davis. a great guy.
Gosh, he is still super handsome.
How sad. I am sorry.

Just found out my great-grandfather, who came from Wales, died of the same thing. General paralysis from syphilis.
Becoming paralyzed and unable to speak, sounds like it could also be alzheimers.
I heard 'general paralysis' and mental hospital and knew. Syphilis is/was a nasty illness.
Syphilis killed Warwick Davis great grandfather but working at Woolwich Arsenal couldnt have helped either
One of my 2nd great grandfathers also died in a mental institution from advanced syphilis.
Of course his work, the horrible toxins, contributely immensly to his death and surely then siphylis was treated also with horrible chemicals.
I really love Warwick as the lepracan
I know I spelled that wrong!
SOULJAH.....
I need to find this on DVD. What season is this ?

Why are these so short
Not funny!
carol maat it was a little funny.
Because it's uploaded for free.
@David Murray She say why are the story episode so short. Read and understand before writing stuff. She say these not he.
@David Murray
I think it was the poison from the TNT! It’s definitely from the work.
Surely were he worked triggered all that as chemicals are neurotoxic
How did he get syphilis?
Wow what a story. I wonder what our descendants will discover about us? Besides what they see on some legacy fb page 🙄
Relatives that are born after us are descendants. People born before us are our ancestors.
@@lynetted I'll blame it on sleep deprivation 🤣
Our descendants are gonna be very very disappointed by all our Facebook posts and Tiktok videos.
l shock people hurt wise safe people
He was with an unclean woman and that caused his demise.
Warrick is the man!!
All these episodes are about people I have never heard of.......
Learn something new every day
Are you from Mars?
Well, it's your problem if you never heard of him, isn't it? He was in Harry Potter, Willow and even in Star Wars!
He sounds evil, he very well may be a leprechaun!
🙄
Rude.
Really??
