Who Do You Think You Are (1)
« on: Wednesday 11 January 06 00:25 GMT (UK) »
Who Do You Think You Are?



"At first Jeremy Paxman was disinterested in his family history. But the story he uncovers is a shocking and emotional tale of poverty, hardship and resilience. And for the nemesis of politicians everywhere, there is an unsettling political connection too."

BBC 2 Wednesday 11th January 9pm

I most certainly will be watching !!  I loved the last series as well.

What I didn't like was the extra waiting time for certs from GRO following the upsurge in interest the programs caused, and the increase in cert price from £7.00 to £11.00 for a while.  Hope GRO are ready this time!!

Can't wait for the first program tonight, have cleared my (very busy  ::) ::)) schedule, will get the kids off to bed early so I can watch in peace.

No doubt I won't be the only one.

I LOVED the last series. ;D

Infact it's what sparked my interest in finding out about my family history.

Which means I am also responsible for the increase in time it took the GRO to respond to requests!! :-[

I loved the last series, it didn't set me off on my family tree, I was independently getting started at the same time but it certainly fired me up.

I am looking forward to tonight, phone off the hook, slippers ready, front door has a big notice - 'Go Away'! pinned to it.
