Who Do You Think You Are?Series 12
Episode 7 of 10

Celebrity genealogy series. Journalist Frank Gardner was told his family arrived in Britain with the Normans and investigates whether there is any truth in the rumour.

Journalist Frank Gardner was very close to his late mother and is keen to know more about her side of the family. Frank's mother always told him that the family arrived in Britain with the Normans. Frank sets off to discover if there is any truth in the rumour. Along the way, he traces his family tree back to his ten times great-grandfather Sir Michael Stanhope - a knight of the Tudor court - who was accused of treason. But Frank's journey doesn't end there, and he is astonished to discover that his mother's suspicions are closer to the truth than he could ever have imagined.
