We really enjoyed hearing about the ancestors of William Roache in last night’s episode of ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’

In particular, we loved learning about the evolution of Blackpool as a blingy mecca for tourists, and the very interesting role that William’s ancestors played in the development of the city.

If you live in the UK and missed the programme, you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer.
