David is off to meet his cousin Barry to learn more about the infamous 1972 band march against internment known as Bloody Sunday. Barry was in fact an attendee of the march.
Famous for playing the time-traveller Dr Who, David Tennant has decided to abandon the Tardis and investigate his own history.
David was born in Bathgate, a post-industrial town between Glasgow and Edinburgh, in 1971. His father, Alexander McDonald, is a minister in the Church of Scotland. David changed his second name, as many actors do. Tennant being inspired by The Pet Shop Boy's Neil Tennant.
Beginning his historical investigations by focusing on his father's side of the family, David quickly discovered that the paper trail goes cold relatively early on. This means David's hope of tracing his family back to the time of the clans would take a huge amount of research, so he instead turned his attention to the ancestry of his maternal grandfather, Archie McLeod.

1 Para were the greatest recruiting sergeant the IRA ever had. Ballymurphy, Magilligan Strand and Bloody Sunday drove young men into the IRA.

In the notes: it was a 'banned' march, not 'band'. The Barry speaking is my Dad's cousin.

My late husband Gregory Wild was there and he said the same. He wouldn't join a march until he was finally able to finish the march to the Guildhall and the Saville Report

Internment came later. This was a march for civil rights.

It reminds me of our Kent State event in 1970. Four were killed and nine wounded.

How is it butchered? The march was a protest against internment without trial of Catholic civilians suspected of being in paramilitaries, then when it comes to the actual act of the killings they stick to the objective facts (1 Para started shooting, 26 civilians shot and 14 dead). Anything beyond that is difficult to say with certainty isn't it, they've got a real eyewitness on talking about it I reckon he knows more than you.
