What a wonderful ending. What an interesting man. My parents were born in 1923/1924. They never talked about their past, growing up, their parents. Not sure why, there wasn't much to hide. I'm retiring and I plan on putting photo books together with stories for my children. Who are in their 40's and could care less, but one day they may. Love this program.

I have a friend that fathered a child in his late 60's, not unheard of

Paloma Picasso was born in April 1949 and her father Pablo in October 1881. When we age, the sperm count may reduce, but only one sperm is needed to fertilise a single egg cell. I would ask biologists researching this what happens in a reduction of the count. Part of the production is fighter cells that need to eliminate competition, part is meant to find the egg and fertilise it. So when count reduces, are both lowered equally or what? Mothers of children with Down's syndrome blame themselves for having given birth to a handicapped child and statistics demonstrate a relation between mother's age and such risks: older is higher risk. Looking deeper, researchers found that the relation between that risk and the age of the father is much stronger. Which is logical as "we" need to produce the contribution to the fertilisation sort of last minute while a woman is born with a complete stock of cells that are ready to do the job. Mutations and lifestyle impact of the father will be much more than of the mother, provided mother never had an STD of the ovaries, or birth canal.

I like Charles Dance in his movies. He is a charmour in a good way, and excellent actor. I was happy finding this video about his roots. Very interesting. Thanks for the infos, Other good point about the revolution of Belgium. Never heard about it. They always speaks about the French revolution. I follow the channel. Greetings from Hungary.

Ha, a much older father than Mr. Dance's mum thought. Just like my nan.. Grandad died in '51 when my mum was 13. Turned out he was born in 1890 (in Wales).

Because Game of Thrones has actors from Germany and the Netherlands, for some reason I thought Charles Dance was Belgian. He just reminded me of Flemish people I know. Then again the forefathers they showed in the program were from the French side.

One of my Favorite actors; watching old movies I can see Charles would make a Marvelous and Superb Sherlock Holmes,even at his age I would LOVE to watch a Mature Holmes movie! I think it would be massively watched; the world loves Charles acting!

It's weird they keep saying "they run from turbulent Belgium" when Belgium did not even exist then. What they actually fled is the the revolution in the Principality of Liege, an often forgotten chapter of the french revolution (not a seperate event in any way).

They ran from the United States of Belgium which had secceeded from the Austrian Empire prior to being brutally annexed by the French Terrorists (that was what they called themselves), which, under the guise of 'protecting the Frenchspeaking minorities' invaded and annexed Belgium, and then executed a genocide on flemish and walloon culture; burning documents, libraries and monasteries, melting gold, silver and bronze artifacts, executing the clergy and intelligentia, disowning dutchspeaking and catholic traders in favor of frenchspeaking non-catholic bourgeois and forbidding the teaching of dutch and the use of dutch in all official documents and correspondence. They then forcibly drafted flemish and walloon farmers into their massive armies to fight their wars for them. Some resisted (the Paysans and the Boeren, called 'Brigands' by the French), but were despite romanticised folktales, no match for the Dictatorial Armies and were put in front of firing squads. I know this is not nuanced, but this is not a novel and saying it was an internal revolution in what always had been France is further from the truth. It had actually been everything but France since the fall of the roman empire.

his father's death certificate would give the correct age ? I don't think you would mistake a 70-year-old for a 50-year-old

Its a fascinating story. Why do we even today aspire for the royals patronage, or at least some of us aspire to. Looking when I post my comment, it may give you an insight my sentiment. At this point, today. The royals would be lucky if they got the patronage from UK's and the commonwealth's population. Patronage, a word of support of the privileged of society. At yhis point royals are not seating in a room with very good light. Maybe, as long as it is red.

Eh Royal Patronage? Do you want Prince Andrew to sponsor you? Joking aside, it does seem an ancient concept.

Royal patronage back then meant a higher salary than the average.
