Comedian Chris Ramsey researches his family tree, starting by investigating his great grandfather who fought in the First World War. A trip to the military base in Dorset where he trained, reveals he fought at Gallipoli, one of the deadliest campaigns of the conflict. Tracing back to the late 18th century, Chris revisits the era when his five-times great grandmother was pregnant. This was a time when those lucky enough to pass a rigorous interview and then win a lottery were able to give birth at the British Lying-In Hospital, thus helping ensure their children got a better start in life. Narrated by Phil Davis
