Who Do You Think You Are - Fearne Cotton 24th Aug

He was released from prison under the "Cat and Mouse Act", OC, and there was nothing to say he went back to prison after that. Presumably it would have said in that book chapter which he wrote if he had gone back to prison. They said he worked hard to get out of Wales and to become a pharmacist but I don't think they went into great detail about it.

Thanks Kate. I would have liked to know how he found the education to become a pharmacist. It's a long (and interesting) jump from coal miner to pharmacist.

Looked up the Cat & Mouse Act. You learn all sorts on here.

I remember learning about it at school, James.

So did I, in connection with a history segment on the suffragettes.

And me too.

Thought it was quite an interesting episode, but I assume her Great Uncle had a copy of the book and knew the details about his Dad... couldn't he have just told her? Although they would probably be hard pressed to have made that fill half the show.
