Synopsis:
Dame Judi Dench begins her journey by trying to find out how her father won his gallantry medals during the First World War. Her investigations then lead her to 16th-century Denmark. Closer to home, comedian Josh Widdicombe embarks on a rollercoaster ride through his extraordinary family history, including a courtier with very personal access to King Charles I. 'Doctor Who' star Jodie Whittaker finds out how her great-great-grandfather worked his way up from child labourer in a Yorkshire coal mine to mine owner. Then, David Walliams learns of his great-grandfather's traumatic experiences during the First World War, which condemned him to a lifetime in what was then called a lunatic asylum.
Actor and Gavin and Stacey co-creator Ruth Jones looks to the sea for her family's mariner history and uncovers her grandfather's role in the Medical Aid Societies of South Wales, a forerunner of the NHS. 'Silent Witness' actor Liz Carr gets forensic about her family history, investigating her great-great-great-grandfather's involvement in an attempted murder in rural Northern Ireland in the 1850s. Comedian and presenter Joe Lycett is famous for finding humour everywhere, but he uncovers a darker family history. Meanwhile, presenter and former footballer Alex Scott learns about her Jewish ancestry, and travels to Jamaica for the first time to find the truth about her great-great-grandmother. Across 8 epic episodes, 'Who Do You Think You Are?' Series 17 travels the globe in search of the hidden and forgotten elements of Britain's sprawling past.
