" Direct police to hold back genetic evidence "
A worthy winner, I'm sure you'll agree. That would have been my vote too.
Congratulations are in order to Faiton. New kid on the block but hasn't taken him (?) long to grab the chair !
Your prize this week is a fascinating clip by a fascinating bloke. If this is a true story......

Congratulations Fallon
Cheers Malcolm

Congrats faiton - nice to pick the winner!. Thanks malcolm, and for the clip.
Thanks for the (rather unexpected!) vote, tyke - much appreciated.

Great one Faiton. Do you need help setting up next week?
Thanks Malcolm. I enjoyed the clip.

Well done Faiton - much deserved! Thanks for your vote Mattrom and mentions from Dorrien & Paul - much appreciated.

Interesting clip Malcolm - Steve Jones `In The Blood`gives a very readable account of ancestry, genes etc. Royalty may be able to trace their family tree back a long way but we all go back just as far - it`s just that most of our distant ancestors were illiterate and too busy trying to scrape a living to worry about their great grandparents!

Congratulations, Faiton, good clue. Thanks, MalcolmX.

Thanks for the mention, Paul. Most welcome.

Congratulations, faiton, and thanks, malcolmx. Nice clip. I'm often amused to hear Americans say that they've traced their ancestry to the Mayflower. Really, how could almost any Yankee not have forebears on that little boat?

Thank you Malcolm for hosting. Looking forward to it next week.

I like idea of being the new kid but the mirror doesn't lie!

Thank you for my prize. Couldn't have asked for nicer.

Some really good clues this week. Nice to be part of this club.

Thanks for your votes.

Faiton (him!)
