David Tennant Visits His Parents - Who Do You Think You Are?

David begins his historical investigations at his parent's home in Paisley by focusing on his father's side of the family, but learns that the trail of the MacDonald family appears to run dry in Callendar, Perthshire. So he turns his attention to the lineage of his mother Helen McLeod, and finds that these forebears in fact hailed from the Isle of Mull. Famous for playing the time-traveller Dr Who, David Tennant has decided to abandon the Tardis and investigate his own history. Beginning his historical investigations by focusing on his father's side of the family, David quickly discovered that the paper trail goes cold relatively early on. This means David's hope of tracing his family back to the time of the clans would take a huge amount of research, so he instead turned his attention to the ancestry of his maternal grandfather, Archie McLeod. ▶ SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE 🔔 : http://bit.ly/WDYTYAyt Check out our podcast 👉 http://bit.ly/WhoDoPodcast 📺 All episodes of Who Do You Think You Are are now available on iPlayer https://bbc.in/3Wiqs9w ▶ J.K.
