Who Do You Think You Are? 9PM BBC2
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/familyhistory/wdytya_celeb_gallery.shtml
Its Sheila Hancock tonight folks on Who Do You Think You Are? at 9pm, BBC2. I havnt read much about this one which in a way is good because it will be more of a suprise.
There is also Family Ties BBC4 at 10pm.
Another programme that may appeal to some RootsChatters is A Passion For Churches. BBC 2, 7.30 pm. The first 2 were really good and I think this one is about a chap restoring a church in Norfolk.
My favourite night of the week.

Its going to be a tricky one Romilly. You have between 8 and 9, depending on how long you run for I suppose.
Its my daughters Brownie night so I have to fit it in around picking up a car full of giggling girls. At least I will get to watch the first one in peace.

I never do more than 10 minutes...(A New Years Resolution, but don't want to overdo it:-) so hopefully I'll manage to fit it in...

Apparently she discovers an energetic business woman in her tree, or so its just said on the BBC trailer. It dosnt give much else away which is a good thing.
I agree wheeldon, she always seems a really interesting sort of lady who comes across as really friendly and who you could invite round for a cuppa and a good chat.
Cant wait. Things are looking good. One son is at band practice, the other is at the gym. The 8 year old should be in bed but will probably end up gagged and tied up in the understairs cupboard. Only joking everyone!!!!

Fascinating stuff Tricia. Its amazing what one mans vision can achieve. Rather sad it was all taken out of his hands, but the wall paintings were awesome.(to quote my teenage son).

Now that was an interesting programme, I really sympathised with Sheila at the grave of Madame Zurhorst, I found the grave of my 5 x gr grandmother in the summer and had a quiet weep. It is quite moving.
Sheila has a most interesting background!

Just seen the Sheila Hancock episode, and thought it was really very good and cohesive. There's nothing quite like starting out with a mystery photo or in this case a portrait, and ending up peering at an old gravestone in a churchyard...
One item right at the start of the programme really amused me. She was in the Carpenter's Arms in the Kings Cross area of London where she'd lived when a little girl. Sometimes I stop in there for a reviving pint after a visit to the FRC. The first time I ever settled my pint down on the table there I couldn't understand why the beer was shaking and vibrating ever now and again - till I realised it was the tremble of the London Underground, and Tube Trains rumbling right under the pub.
I'm surprised she didn't remember that as a child...
