LONDON -- If you're not already familiar with the fine work of Danny Dyer, then your first stop should probably be his glorious Twitter feed.

The British actor recently took a break from posting delightfully sweary tweets to make an appearance on the BBC's celebrity ancestry show Who Do You Think You Are?.

It was an entertaining and unexpected episode. The hour-long show was chock full of amusing moments and one-liners, culminating in Dyer's shock discovery that -- spoiler alert -- he's actually a direct descendant of English royalty.

If you happened to miss it, though, fear not: UK writer Wil Jones has edited the entire episode into 87 perfect seconds:

That's not the only Dyer montage Jones has produced, either.

Here's Danny Dyer's Funniest Football Foul Ups in 73 seconds.

And here's Danny Dyer's The Real Football Factories, Season 1, in 74 seconds.

Jones' montages have been retweeted thousands of times, and were collected together in one glorious Twitter Moment on Wednesday morning.

Outstanding work.
