Apparently, Dyer is descended from Edward III - like about 500,000 other people and , quelle surprise, William the Conqueror - like many more, including, erm, Edward III!
The trouble with WDYTYA now is that many people have delved into their own family and found much more interesting stories, but with a bit-part in Chav TV, there is no chance to tell the story. |

WDYTYA has now reached a suitably middle level where I think they could possible profile my own ancestry. I wouldn't say I'm famous, but I'm on nodding acquaintance with virtually everyone in our village.
I think I'm related to Dick Turpin (maybe not the Dick Turpin, but I'll find out won't I?). |

Cheryl (she's mislaid her surname, it seems), Liz Bonnin and Ricky Tomlinson to follow up to Christmas, then at some point in the new year Ian McKellen, Sophie Raworth, Warwick Davis, Greg Davies and Sunetra Sarker.

I will only be watching his episode as he is a great character.
The thought of that chav and her depressing voice ![]() As for Dyer and the rest... is that the best they could come up with. Can't see what is wrong with Cheryl's voice, nice Geordie accent. Better than an ex-con with a Scouse accent!

That's as may be. The fact remains that he was convicted and spent time in prison which is the only qualification. The degree to which you place a negative connotation on it is another matter but the description is irrefutably correct.
In any case, if his and his workmates dodgy convictions are overturned (for which there is petition) then you can rest easy again after piping down. |

And what does this have to do with his subsequent career and appearance on WDYTYA?
Petition? Yeah, that'll work! |

You do know what the programme is about? You really think if a union man or convict pops up in the tree they're going to just ignore it?
Petition? Yeah, that'll work! The point is that some twit above (another one) chose to focus on it as a reason for not watching his particular programme. You need to put your brain into gear before opening your trap. |

I think this amply demonstrates that I don't have anything to learn from you on conduct on a forum! Your application for the forum police is hereby rejected!
The only advice I'd give you is to know what you're talking about before you start making a blockhead of yourself. |

It's back next Thursday at 8pm starting with Danny Dyer innit followed by Amanda Holden the following week. He reckons his story is probably the best one ever made.
"I'm a brilliant actor." "Out of every soap actor I've got the most experience." When Rudolph Walker is a regular on Eastenders, to name but one. |

Better than an ex-con with a Scouse accent! ![]() But then in the intervening 40 plus years Ricky Thomlinson has turned his life around and had a very successful career. It is a shame others can't see that and continue to hold what is in reality a minor misdemeanor against them. Quote:
He was not charged with striking, he convicted of "conspiracy to intimidate" but he probably thinks that it is acceptable to intimidate people to prevent them going about their lawful business.

That was in 1973 and more than likely framed. But Cheryl who punched and racially abused an innocent woman .. well say no more.
Ricky has more talent in his little finger than that chav will ever have. Quote:
The singer Cheryl Tweedy of Girls Aloud was yesterday cleared of a racially aggravated assault on a nightclub toilet attendant, after a court heard the racism allegation only emerged after the Sunday Mirror became involved in the story.
There were quite a lot of doubts about the case.Never been particularly impressed with Tomlinson's acting but I tend to avoid anything he is in. |

If you're too young to remember, it's probably best to say nothing. If you're one of those whiny middle-class people the BBC gets negative soundbites from in train stations during strikes, there's no use talking to you about industrial action. |

Maybe Lundavra can explain what the ex-convict thing has to do with the program.
Why wasn't Cheryl Tweedy's conviction for assault mentioned? She set about a toilet attendant FFS, if you're going down this road, I don't know why that got a free pass. |
