  • Sports presenter and broadcaster Clare Balding has always been curious about her maternal great-grandfather and the 'thing that has been sort of whispered in the family - could he have been gay?' Getting to the truth of the matter is a challenge when all the evidence comes from a time when homosexuality was illegal.
    Digging into her father's side of the family takes Clare to New Jersey and New York, where she uncovers an extraordinary dynasty and American roots stretching back generations.

    I think that people are just trying to understand themselves by looking into their family history. Recognition of similarities causes them to feel a connection with ones ancestors. The series of Stephen Fry is a great example of this & very moving 😢

    Not a riding accident, she was on a horse and banged her head. Nothing to do with the horse.

    wonder why they pronounce it Darby when it is spelled Derby? Strange

      Because that's how we pronounce it in the UK.

      Ha-ha - so many that are pronounced differently - try Worcester (Wooster) Edinburgh (Edin- bur - ra)❤

      In Britain the word Clerk is pronounced Clark. Just how they pronounce it.

      darling.. have you entirely missed the point of WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Its about family history. If you mean his sexual orientation.. well it is highly relevant. Her ancestor was mixing with well known people in the era, well known in British history and at the time any such relationship as illegal.. Its interesting. Don't like it.. don;t seek it out and watch it. You can say ANYTHING is a family or private matter. I think you are freaked out its about gayness.

      sounds like you would like homosexuality kept in the dark as it was, causing untold grief to people, in times past. Guess what? we live in 2024 now. I don;t like tv programmes about fast cars.. so i don;t watch them. i don;t go on social media and make rude comments showing how small minded I am.

      You are going to great lengths to freak out yourself, and be quite rude yourself. You are also quite hostile about comments which were not hostile in the least. In fact ALL of your comments have been much more rude than the ones you are complaining about. You seem to have a very large chip on your shoulder.
