Episode 2: The Dad's Line

BBC One - Meet the Izzards, The Dad's Line

Eddie Izzard explores the secrets of his father's family history over thousands of years.

Comedian and actor Eddie Izzard uses cutting-edge DNA science to explore the secrets of his father's family history over hundreds of thousands of years.

In the second episode of a two-part documentary, comedian and actor Eddie Izzard embarks on a unique, epic and personal journey using his own DNA to trace the migration of his ancestors out of Africa and into Europe. A simple saliva swab and the latest cutting-edge DNA science help Eddie explore the secrets of his father's family history. He traces his male ancestral route over hundreds of thousands of years and across 10,000 miles all the way back home to Britain. 

Along the way he meets some of his DNA cousins among the Bakola pygmies of Cameroon, and in the Middle East he discovers how we first had sex with Neanderthals, as he finds out where the male Izzards came from.
