I'm especially looking forward to Griff Rhys Jones and also hoping that they have not 'shelved' the Boris Johnson episode (I heard or read somewhere they would not show it due to the forthcoming  London Mayor Elections).

Boris Johnson does not appear in the list of celebrities for the coming series (page 22 of this week's Radio Times) which seems to confirm the rumour that his episode has been dropped.

I guess somebody must have posted this already
but
WDYTYA? starts again tomorrow Thurs 6th Sep at 9pm BBC1

I wish they'd have a 'non-celebrity' version of this programme

I am sure there are many ' non celebs' like us who have far more interesting roots!
Hope someone from the BEEB is listening in

He wasn't shown amongst the celebrities in the opening credits, so it appears they have.  Hopefully, though, if they've already filmed it they'll make it into a special akin to that we had earlier in the year with Nicky Campbell.  I'd sincerely hope they do.  I was looking forward to Boris' episode more than anyone else's this series.

IT was a very moving episode - I hope we never stop crying about the atrcities these people suffered.  However I also think the family would have already known most of this - Natasha's father was a highly educated man and would have known I feel.  Did they mention his parents ?  It seemed to leap back to his grandparents. I would have been interested to know if he saw his parents during his 20 years of exile ?

The radio times website doesn't have any repeats listed - just next two programmes (13 & 20 Sept) - may be worth checking in a week's time for any late repeats.
