Can Greg Davies Uncover Family Secret? | Who Do You Think You Are

Two years after his dad’s death, actor and comedian Greg Davies retains a sense of connection to his Welsh roots, and wants to explore hints of a family secret.

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.

He is such a delight. I love how he still strives to make his family members laugh.

[@QD808]

i was really hoping for Gregs mom to show him the photo that Rhod Gilbert taunts him with on Taskmaster

[@carnifaxx]

After you said that, I ended up really disappointed it didn't happen :D

[@amygareis6276]

I think this show was before Rhod appeared on TM.

[@justjoe942]

How to drive me crazy? Put these out before you have all of them, and keep them diced up with lots of commercials. I'll keep watching, you know I'll keep watching. Bastards.

[@MadcapShambleton]

As long as it's not just me along for the ride.

[@cdcdogs4961]

Greg has such a lovely mum. 🥰

[@amyholman354]

Great sense of humor between the cousins

[@donihee137]

I love his cousin! She's a sweetie!

[@mmcleod8148]

PLEASE put the show parts together!

[@birdali2]

Love Greg, so excited for his story.

[@kevinparker461]

Started looking into my family history years ago, i have discovered my family living in a village not more than 15 miles from where i live back in the reign of Henry 8th. I have also found out the family were founding fathers of the USA & i have uncovered some very famous relatives!. It really is a brilliant thing to do, finding your roots.

[@elenaodonovan785]

now i need to know!

[@FangToh]

Did ANYONE realise that the door knocker is pretty darn high for that door at his mum's?!

[@hayreddinbarbarossa661]

Surely there has to be a legitimate giant in his family tree.

[@junbh2]

Or possibly an illegitimate one.

[@EducationProfessional-pc6ep]

Hodor.

[@caseycampbell7975]

Excellent

[@dianaverano7878]

He descended from a 12th century Prince of Wales from Owens family

[@johnjones9104]

Well I can tell you that me and Greg are cousins were both descended from the people who lived at cwm mawr , we are not just descended from Owain Gwynedd, there are many many many many more named famous people, my research goes back to the crowned heads of Europe, 20 years of work , well worth every second

[@vivienneoneill5400]

I love this man.❤❤❤❤❤

[@thatchoirgirl94]

Mummy Davies is so sweet, beautiful and funny! Greg and his sister are very lucky.

[@cockertoo8920]

Of course she made the father up. She is not going to say to the vicar '' Oh, I don't know who my Dad was, I was illegitimate''

[@budle89]

0:36 that's a very sweet picture.

[@englishrose4388]

He is a funny man.

[@beatnikmary]

Can we talk about how Greg's nain looks EXACTLY like Stephanie Cole, the actress who plays his aunt on Man Down??

[@yesterdaydream]

I did a double-take thinking it had to be photoshopped

[@MrBrownnn696]

I loved the story.... very cool

[@PrincessHarlotte]

His mom is beautiful!

[@caspence56]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@ftumschk]

A bit Helen Mirren-ish, I think.

[@missjones580]

He's not so bad himself.

[@givenscommunications6307]

Very revealing!

[@garyhulme3673]

Fantastic

[@stenbak88]

I would love to be anything like my dad

[@LadyGigglesnort]

He looks so much like Rik Mayall in that picture with his Dad.

[@FredByDawn]

Debb Curry right? I thought that it was a picture of him and Rik until I realized that would’ve made Rik about 10 feet tall

[@LadyGigglesnort]

@@FredByDawn lol!

[@fookmyoldboots7208]

0:38 Greg looks like a 7 foot Rick Mayall 😁

[@chrisjarvis4449]

i don't know why but when i see that pic of greg with his gram it makes me think about the goon show

[@Pou1gie1]

If she worked as a maid for a family and the two daughter's father is unnamed, my guess is that it would be either the head of the household she worked for or another male family member within the family who impregnated her either consensually or unconsensually.

[@jackstone412]

“ the trick is, to track down an imaginary butcher’ where is Harry Potter when you need him,

[@jbaby362]

Daaamn, even his cousin has the same nose!

[@Ameliemichelle]

My family on my Dad's side called my great granparents nine and tide. Not sure of spelling

[@Ameliemichelle]

Nain and Taid

Taskmaster Track down Butcher Your time starts now.

[@Topaz_Estrella]

Underrated comment!

[@heidikreizinger4074]

So how did this end? Love to find out about who the father really was

[@jennifermcgoldrick6323]

Butcher who was a drunk and philanderer who couldn’t afford to pay child support to the baby girls born outside of marriage edit: owens was his last name

[@steveb1972]

Well both birth certificates said they were domestic servants. It’s probably the old story for both.

[@karenmeyer9869]

Yea you might not want to put your boss's name as the father.

[@eily_b]

Exactly. And for most of the servants it wasn't a Downton Abby fairytale, the Lords were banging whatever they could grab. 🤨

[@rimmersbryggeri]

We all know about Daffydd Thomas!

[@BonJody]

His mom looks different than she did in the Bath photo.

[@juan21r16]

He doesn't look disabled driving that car at all...

[@cemeterrihaynes4435]

And..??!

[@nickyj3343]

DNA testing may link Elizabeth's biological family.

[@Sal.K--BC]

DNA testing & genetic genealogy could help figure out who her father really was....

[@chriswilliams9798]

Whoever does the subtitles, needs to get better, or give up!

[@paintedlady82]

They are auto generated and better than nothing for the actual DEAF so don't complain.

[@chriswilliams9798]

@@paintedlady82 the auto subtitles, as they are currently, ain’t good for the deaf or hard of hearing! Whatever makes you think they are? Send reinforcements, we are going to advance; is not the same as; Send three & four pence, we’re going to a dance.

[@royperkins3851]

The truth is that there are plenty of men raising other mens children it happened then and it's happening this very minute! Unless the kid looks exactly like you, you can't trust it!
