David Walliams family history with mental health... | #WDYTYA UK

Actor, comedian, talent show judge and children’s author David Walliams delves into his family history. First, he learns of his paternal great-grandfather’s prolonged and traumatic experiences on the battlefields of the First World War. The damage to his mental health condemned him to a lifetime in what was then known as a lunatic asylum. On his mother’s side, David uncovers the story of his great-great-grandfather, who was blind as the result of invasive eye surgery. David is amazed to find out that his ancestor became an entertainer - first a street musician and then a travelling showman, running fairground attractions with the help of his wife and children. 🚨 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE 🔔 : http://bit.ly/WDYTYAyt ▶ WATCH MORE WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE: http://bit.ly/WDYTYAClips 📺 Oscar Award Winner Kate Winslet 👉 https://bit.ly/KATEWINSL3T 📺 Academy Award-winning actress Olivia Colman 👉 https://bit.ly/0IiviaCoIman 📺 Watch FULL EPISODES of Who Do You Think You Are USA here 👉 https://bit.ly/WDYTYAFULLEPS In each episode, one of Britain's best-loved celebrities traces their family tree to reveal the surprising, extraordinary and often moving stories of their ancestors.
