Whether people like him or not I think it'll be interesting to see an episode with someone so old- I don't think anyone older has been featured?

He should have a lot of memories from a long time ago before they even start researching!

My only gripe about next Monday is that at 9pm there are 3 prorammes on at the same time that I really want to watch:
WDYTYA  BBC1  -  Identity  ITV1  -  And an excellent channel 4 prog re war graves from WW1

and would you believe it not one of them is repeated at all during the week, unlike many others. Oh & the channel 4 one is 1 1/2 hrs long and thus cannot be recorded as it clashes with 2 others I am "sky+ing" at 10pm.

OOOH I could scream  ;D
you could Sky + (other systems are availble) the ch 4 program on Ch4 +1 (hr)

I think it should be a very interesting program. This one is at least about someone who has had a long life and colourfull life.I just hope he does'nt take over the whole show like he always does.

Toni

I did say in my thread that I cannot "c 4 + 1 hr" as I am already recording 2 programmes at 9pn & 10pm and the channel 4 lasts for 1 1/2 hours and no matter whether I start from 8pm or 9pm it overlaps others programmes I want to "tape"

As I only have Sky+ and no other recording facilities I am stuck.
