The Bag & Shirt Family Tree

Back to: Home page | Trivia Index

Throughout the nine series (and four Christmas specials) there were several different members of the Bag and Shirt family. I've made a family tree to see how each character is related - you'd be surprised how many Bag family members there are! And as Tabatha Bag says 'guess which one's the sap.'
