I'm not watching the repeats on SBS, but have started watching them on DVD. It's amazing the little things you pick up the second time that you missed the first.
Austar is doing a repeat at the moment and I watched an eposide on wednesday and thought oh yes I don't recall that before, so you do pick up at bit more..Shiela Hancock it was.
I must admit though as it has been previously stated by others I make grrrr noises when they just get handed the certificates and go oh ah. All so staged bet you don't walk in and get 'em just like that .
Dee... I had fun with Ita and you, all good stuff and you didn't put it about on threads and it was information anyone could find with inclination and time

Yes and a big Welcome to Rootschat where fun and friendship and a lot of genealogy information abounds.
I see Chappell is amongst your names, now that is a famous name in Australia to all of us cricket tragics.

That's right, Jenn, you like me are a cricket tragic, aren't you?
Welcome, Marilyn! You'll soon be as hopelessly addicted as the rest of us!
I've very much enjoyed the repeats of the Australian series on SBS. Watched Ita tonight and enjoyed it for a second time. Very much hoping that SBS get the funding to make that second series!

Hi,
Last night (Sun 31 Aug at 7.30 pm) I caught the tail end of a WDYTYA program on Sir Mathew Pinsent, an Olympic triple gold medallist. (Who by the way traced his family directly back to King Edward the first, then back to Adam & Eve hmmm)
I can't find any program details for the screening of another series. Perhaps this was a one off in response to SBS screening the Olympics. (Does anyone know which series had Pinsent?)
Anyway, I think we should keep checking the SBS programs.
Best wishes, Gazania

Matthew Pinsent was on Series 4 (first shown in 2007). He actually joined rootschat although I don't know if he has returned since his initial postings in response to his appearance on WDYTYA.
I did see this episode, but would have liked to have seen it again. Perhaps a one off as you say.
Pay TV (UKTV) is currently showing series 3 on Thursday evenings at 7.30 then repeated at 9.30.

We have just had last week the third programme of Series Five in the UK. All have been excellent so far and well worth watching out for.
1. Patsy Kensit
2. Boris Johnson
3. Jerry Springer

Patsy Kensit apparently wanted to pull out half way through recording the programme because she was getting so much bad news about her ancestors but she was persuaded to continue and ended up being very proud of a couple of her ancestors. She was in tears much of the time!
Boris Johnson has a very colourful ancestry - Johnson is his Grandmother's maiden name which the family adopted after his Turkish Great Grandfather was assassinated. His maternal side is just as interesting.
I never watch Jerry Springer's usual TV show but his family story on WDYTYA is definitely one not to miss when it appears in Australia. His family moved to England a month before the start of WWII, both his Grandmothers were lost in the Holocaust. One very moving moment when he was shown the form that had to be completed to register his Grandmother in the room where she was living with five others in a ghetto in Poland. He asked how long she was there and another form was produced which was completed when she left the address to be "resettled" (i.e. killed). He said something like "they kept a record of everything", there was a long pause then the local genealogist just repeated "they kept a record of everything".
It was done quite tastefully, he started crying on the platform of the station where his Grandmother had left for the place where she was killed but they kept the camera right back away from him.

Thanks for the spoilers Martin ..... (only joking  - I've already read a bit about the new series).
Many Australians wouldn't know who half the celebs are, but I think the programme can be enjoyed despite that.

I couldn't agree more. Each program stands alone whether we know the celebrity or not. Anyway, we have Google to find out more about their celebrity status after the show. Bye Gazania

I left out what happened in the last few minutes of each show 
The programmes usually don't depend on knowing the subject, I often find that I don't know any soap stars who take part.

Just back online after a month away. Thanks Gazania! Dammit, I missed Jeremy Irons, but will be lining up for John Hurt on Sunday night. Hope there are a few more to come!

Hi MarieC
Was wondering where you have been - I enjoyed Sheila Hancock last week - sorry you missed it

Hi Trish
Double dammit - that's right, make me envious of what I've missed!  Didn't even know WDYTYA had returned to SBS till I saw this thread just now!
Managed to get various bits of FH research done in Ireland, though not without difficulty - the GRO in Dublin, like my Edward Martin, doesn't want to be found but I eventually tracked it down. Lots of stories to tell about researching in Ireland - it truly is a very different place, but the people, especially in the country, are lovely. Weather totally lousy - torrential rain and cold. (Memo to self - find appropriate board and post the stories there, they may entertain or help others!)
Already been helped by three wonderful Rootschatters since I first peered at the 'puter through jetlagged eyes last night - it's great to be on here again!
Hope all is well with you.
MarieC
