Johnson's ancestry is pretty well known now, thanks to a BBC show which takes
well-known personalities and helps them trace their family tree. His great
grandfather was an Interior Minister in the Ottoman Empire, before being assassinated
during the Turkish War of Independence. He is also directly descended from King George
II, though he was German and only became king because his (also German) father reigned
here before him, being the closest Protestant relative to Queen Anne, once she died.
As you say, though, he's very stereotypical as a member of the English upper-class, but
is never condescending or patronising, and is able to laugh at himself when he does
something stupid. Which is quite often.

in Canada. They're generally pretty polished, with good stories. The games, I mean, not
the doctors.

got that right.
