Martin Freeman Learns of the Deaths of his Great Grandparent's Children - Who Do You Think You Are?

Richard Freeman disappeared for a few years after leaving Worthing, eventually resurfacing in Hull, where he married his third wife, Martin's great grandmother, Aida Meldrum. Martin wants to find out how the two of them came together and what their home- life was like. He soon unveils some shocking news.

When he was just 10 years old, Martin Freeman's father died of a heart attack. As a child, the actor tried to show people that he was a "brave little four-foot thunderball". "I've only realised how tough it is as I've got older," he says.

The early loss of his father had another effect: Martin knows "embarrassingly little" about his dad's side of the family. To fill in the gaps, Martin begins by researching the life of his grandfather, Leonard.
