    Nice to see different angles of Dublin ie, the quays , O Connal street , grafton street , Bewlys cafe , the coombe etc ;)

    I laughed when he thought his family might be from southamton '' oh no , not southamton '' :)

    I thought it was a good one. Shame about what happened to his great-grandfather.

    Really enjoyed that episode - he came across so different to his usual self. Ballina looked really well - see Fr Hoban got his request in for a donation :D.

    I love this show. Always find it fascinating how they trace their lineage and it always throws up surprising twists.
    It's actually something that I'd love to do for my own family. It's on the ever increasing list of things to do.

    Thought it was funny when Chris Moyles thought that his Irish lineage would be one of Craic agus Ceol. Little did he know that Ireland wasn't a particularly prosperous place a hundred years ago. It was also interesting to see that he was genuinely disappointed when he thought his family wasn;t Irish.

    Thought it funny when one of Moyles relatives offerd him the loan of the ' Queens Shilling ' plate from her wall on condidtion he returns it ie,

    Womon '' you can have this as long as you return it ''

    Moyles '' This might be worth melting down ''

    Womon '' I'll melt you down if it's not returned ''

    Like he only works for the BBC :D

    Fairly interesting show alright - especially for the Plastic Paddies who wouldn't have known that so many of their ancestors had no hang-ups about fighting for the British in WWI - and even believed they were doing their bit for Mother Ireland by going to the battlefields of France.

    Awkward bit on Today FM Ray Foley's show today though. Somebody texted in asking if he'd seen Moyles on Who Do You Think You Are, and did he think they could be related... So funny

    Brilliant, such a pity theres no listen again on the Today FM site.:D

    Overall though I thought Moyles came across very well in the show, although if he's so proud of his roots here woulden't he have applied for the Irish Passport by now.

    Was definetly a much better watch than all the gushing nonsense from Davina the previous week in Paris.

    Why? What benefit would he have by having an Irish Passport?

    It wasn't a great war. It was a stupid idiotic war between the ruling families of Europe who sent their "subjects" to be killed for them.
