Who Do You Think You Are? Series 18
Episode 6 of 7

YouTuber Joe Sugg aptly discovers that one of his ancestors was involved in one of the earliest forms of communications technology, electrical telegraphs. Another survived the Great Fire of London.

YouTuber and actor Joe Sugg uncovers some incredible stories in his family tree, with a little help along the way from fellow social media star and big sister, Zoe. Joe, very aptly, discovers a great-great-great-grandfather who was involved in the earliest days of communications technology – in electrical telegraphs. Pushing further back, he finds seven-times-great-grandparents who fled religious persecution in France, and a goldsmith who survived the Great Fire of London.
