Billy Connolly Discovers Misbehaviour Runs In The Family | Who Do You Think You Are

[@shaunoleary9774]

"Peculiar salute" would make a great song title about those military doctors, even sounds like a 60s folk song title

[@akschmidt2085]

"The pleasure's mine, I can assure you". What a lovely man. The story about his granddad, which was part of one of his routines, where he became the only case of scurvy in the UK is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

[@sundance81677]

Billy’s a sweetheart. Severely underrated as a comedian. My heart goes out to him. He has Parkinson’s. Which is a horrible disease that robs you of so much. I hope he knows how much he’s loved.

Dear Lord!! Those poor women: 20 expected to “serve” 1000 men!! I’m glad Billy said “Filthy Bugger”

That was when I yelled out “Oh hell no!” I never heard him say that. Necessary evil my a$$.

Excellent presentation! You can tell Billy was moved by the experience of learning some real family history.

[@ncc74656m]

This is one of my favorite shows on KZbin now. Please keep this coming!

[@Lisalisa-vq4nd]

These two interacting together totally cracked me up. 🤣🤣🤣I love it!!!! I could watch it over and over again and still laugh. Billy's the best! And there you have it, my syphilitic great great grandfather.

[@dr.elizabethmartin7118]

Unfortunately, syphilis, unless treated in the 1st stage, "retreats" - no more visible sores, and then in the 3rd stage attacks ferociously and ruins the brain, nervous system, body until death. So sad......

[@melissaford717]

'Beigey Gray sounds like a soul singer' cracked me up! I love shows like this because I love history, and to learn about people and their lives.

[@neilforbes416]

Would be better that the complete episode was uploaded rather than segments.

[@rsa420]

totally they could have atleast numbered them

[@neilforbes416]

@@rsa420 Good point, then at least we'd know in which order to play the segments. But better to have the complete episode with intro and closing credits intact.

[@rsa420]

@@neilforbes416 i think its missing bits as cant find a play list on the channel

[@neilforbes416]

@@rsa420 I suspected this as well. Having no proper order in which to play the segments exacerbates the situation.

Misbehavior runs in the family. No wonder my Grandpa Connolly was a judge that taught us kids how to hotwire cars.

[@typower9]

I love the historian who is explaining to Billy about his ancestor's times in hospital and his turning his life around after marrying his wife.

[@sadia2395]

She was being all serious and then Billy quips 'that must have been a peculiar salute' 😆😝 and later ' there we have it, my symphilitic great great grandfather ' 😆😆😅

[@hookemups6710]

Wonderful upload. thank you.

[@ByrneMJames]

I have to say I love Indian manners, Billys working class manners came out to match as well. I dunno if it's a legacy of colonialism but I really enjoy being around people from India because of that.

[@anishpinto1]

The people in South India are also a lot milder and well-mannered than the people in the North of India.

[@adithyahk]

Funny how what we think is random choices me make can actually be a pattern past down from generation to generation, almost like instictive behavior animals have.

Strange observation. The idea of generational curses comes to mind.

Come on now, Mr. Connelly, you were a British Soldier yourself, a para in the TA, you know how it is . . . .

[@NeuroDeviant421]

As late as the 1970's DTs were still treated with Anhydrous Morphine.

[@feralbluee]

many army groups had local women recruited who lived right on the same camp grounds as a regiment. i think this went on in this way for a hundred or more years. i know there were some in Nam. before that they were called camp followers - women who had no other way to live. the stories about Nam do tell more of the truth about being in combat. and we’re being told more about the horrible hand to hand fighting during the Civil War. but all the poetry, novels, and films written about the brave perfect soldiers (especially in the 1800’s), are totally made up. why the truth can’t be included, i don’t know. so this history of one of Connelly’s forebears is quite an eye opener! 🥀

I could never go to India I can't stand heat,crowds, hot peppery food and funky strong smells.......i would feel depressed if could not help the street kids

[@kinjalmehta8487]

Yes heat in mostly southern India and middle India. If you go to northern India is Icy cold specially near Himalayan ranges. We also have three different sea’s and desert too, mountains, rivers, lakes and snowy mountains. Don’t believe in everything you see on media. Poverty is there undeniably, thanks to colonisation where we were left at our worst. During or till 17th century India was one of the richest country or region in the world. Also there are many things you don’t know about India including we have dishes which are not completely peppery, we add at least 7-8 different species because it’s available and grown easily in our “hot and humid” climate. With more than 5000 different species of spices and medicinal plants. We Indian are also inventors of “zero” and plastic surgery and many others things but I’m still sorry if you feel all this offensive because my country being called poor and hot with indigestible food was offensive and rather distraught me because of our given 200 years of colonial history of suffering which is not even mention once in British history text books.

Adithya HK also, I’m partly South Indian, so I know what weather Ooty has also how desert is in the night. I’m just trying to make a point that India is very diverse in nature, culture, languages, dialects, skin colour and religions.
