Who Do You Think You Are? featured Liz Carr last night and viewers were delighted to see the star channelling her Silent Witness alter-ego.
During Monday (November 2) night’s episode, the Wirral actress learned about her great-great-great-grandfather’s struggles as a tenant farmer right after the Irish potato famine – and his involvement in the attempted murder of a prominent landlord in Armagh.
She also discovered more about her maternal grandfather, who died when Liz’s mum was just two years old.
What happened with Liz Carr in Who Do You Think You Are?
At one point, she visited Armagh Jail, where she read a letter about the attack written by a magistrate at the time – and viewers thought it was just like something they would see in Silent Witness.
Throughout the episode, fans were delighted to see Liz in another investigative role, not unlike her character Clarissa Mullery.
