William Roache is the subject of documentary 'Who Do You Think You Are' tonight, Wednesday September 26 at 9pm. on BBC1.
The Mirror reports a sneak preview of some of the more salacious facts that William discovers.
Turns out his grandfather was a violent alcoholic and his mother was sent away as an infant to an aunt in Staffordshire to protect her. He gains respect for his grandmother for carrying on a business.
He also finds out his great-grandad gave electric shocks to Victorian clients on Blackpool seafront to cure them of “nervous diseases.
For all this and more, tune in tonight.
