Ever wondered if your family rumours are actually true? In this episode of Questions & Ancestors, host Alex Jones sits down with legendary comedian and former barrister Clive Anderson to swap courtroom wits for some serious family drama.

Guided by Ancestry genealogist Laura House, a surprising DNA test completely rewrites Clive’s maternal history, uncovering a 19th-century court scandal, severe poverty, and a secret romance with a local baker that changes everything he thought he knew.

Plus, stick around until the end when host Alex Jones jumps into the hot seat to investigate her own family legend: is she actually related to the Mayor of Paris, or has a century-old game of telephone twisted the truth?
