PICK OF THE DAY
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?, 9PM, BBC1
BORN in Cambridge in 1993, Paralympian Jonathan ‘Jonnie’ Peacock was named after his maternal grandfather, who had died the year before he was born. A gifted amateur footballer, Jonathan Sr was scouted by a professional team, only to end up as a painter and decorator under parental pressure to get a ‘proper job’. On his father’s side, Jonnie delves into the life of his enigmatic great-greatgreat-great grandmother, who refused to take it lying down when her reputation was unfairly dragged through the mud in the 1840s.
