We were delighted (and just a little star-struck!) to see John Bishop using the BNA website in last night’s ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ programme.

John was looking for information on his gg-grandfather, Charles Bishop, who left the army in the 1850s to pursue a musical career, and he found several stories in the Archive about his musical ancestor.

We’re going to post a couple of these stories on the blog shortly. But, in the meantime, if you live in the UK and missed last night’s programme, you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer.
