Fascinating?
Do you really think so?

Fascinating programme on C4 last night.
A scientist is trying to obtain DNA from dead people to see if their DNA profile adds in any way to the celebrity / notoriety that they had in life.
Amongst the things he was offered was (mad) King George III's hair (it turned out to be a wig) and Elvis wart (apparently removed from his wrist in his youth).
He declined the wart but a sample of Elvis hair produced DNA which showed a disposition of obesity and heart disease.
Future programmes include Charles Darwin and Mariln Monroe - although several labs have refused to process anything to do with Hitler !!!
