    Greg Davies's father made sure that his son was born on Welsh soil so that when Greg became a rugby international, he would play for Wales. Fortunately for comedy, Greg showed little talent for rugby, but he retains a sense of connection to his Welsh roots and, two years after his dad's death, wants to know more about them. Greg gets more than he bargained for when he identifies a wayward great-grandfather but is rewarded when the trail leads further back to the deepest Welsh roots anyone could wish for.

      Nonsense. Those children are damaged goods and should be labelled accordingly. These half-orphans inherit the weaknesses of their parents, be it a bad temperament or week moral fiber. At the very least, they are saddled with misfortune, and a lack of proper care as they grow up. Let them wear the stigma.

      No entirely true...father's of the lower class were shamed for illegitimate children. If a child were conceived out of wedlock...it was expected that the father would marry the mother...if he didn't he was considered a man of ill repute as well. Certainly not as shamed as the mothers, but not glorified either. The vast majority of people in history were living hard and oppressed lives...Men and women alike.

      My nieces were born out of wedlock, all 3 with the same father, my parents never had any problem with it nor shunned my sister. It is ridiculous to give humans the phrase "illegitimate" as if they are not a whole, proper person if a made up ceremony and vows makes children born to married couples "superior". There are plenty who have long relationships until death that don't marry and divorce is on the rise and those children pushed between 2 houses.
