New series next week on the Beeb of Who Do You Think You Are?
« on: Tuesday 05 October 21 16:09 BST (UK) »
Not entirely sure whether this has already been flagged up on another board, but a new series of WDYTYA begins next week on the BBC.
I'm particularly looking forward to the episode involving Ed BALLS as a few years ago I did some (fairly amateur) research for a family friend who is related to the BALLS family.  Should be very interesting to see how and what the professionals turn up on him.
Also in the series are Dame Judi Dench, Joe Lycett, Josh Widdicombe, Alex Scott, Pixie Lott and Joe Sugg.
Can't wait....!

At least with Judi Dench they will go back earlier than WW2.

That rather depends on what interesting characters they find!

I'm rather on the edge of my seat to discover whether there will be much focus on one particular direct ancestor of EB  who I discovered positively changed the fortunes of his family for the better.  As often happened in Victorian times...

Seeing as Judi Dench was born before WW2 they have to go back further,

Did you see this?

Tillypeg,
I had wondered whether someone had introduced this topic earlier on Rootchat...15th September, apparently.  Never quite sure whether a theme deserves The Lighter Side or not...

Ref Josh Widdicombe being descended from Henry Vlll..... the king never did acknowledge either child of Mary (Boleyn) Carey as his own royal offspring, so the programme will be fascinating!
