BBC One - Who Do You Think You Are?, Series 13, Warwick Davis

Actor Warwick Davis finds humanity and humour in some uncomfortable stories.

Warwick Davis takes a non-judgemental approach as he researches the family line stretching back from his grandmother, finding humanity and humour in some uncomfortable stories.

Actor Warwick Davis owes his big break aged 11 to his paternal grandmother Edith, who heard a radio ad 'looking for short people to appear in Return of the Jedi'. Warwick takes a non-judgemental approach as he researches the family line stretching back from Edith, finding humanity and humour in some uncomfortable stories. On his maternal side, Warwick is equally open-minded when he finds out about his three-times-great-grandfather - a postman who lived a double life.
