"who do you think you are 2007" on TV

[PaulineJ]

You could try applying for the beta version of the BBC iPlayer:-

We've just managed to get ourselves onto the test. You download and 'hold' the programme for a max of 28(?) days and then it automatically deletes itself if you haven't done so already.
You also need to use their (BBC) player software as it currently stands, but that may be subject to change.

Ok  this may be a silly question  but are your dvd players the same as British ones??  If so I am happy to post you copies of the series as it runs, as I record each one on the dvd recorder hardrive  (well OK maybe I don't, but the very good OH does) I am happy to post you a copy if this helps

AUS should be able to play UK DVDs.

Well if I can help let me know

Hi all.

Jane,

Yes, UK DVD's will play here (we have numerous bought direct from the UK) but I think (I may be wrong here as I am techo-illiterate) we had to get a special lead or something in order to play them.

It's very kind of you to offer to post copies of the series to me, but I wonder if there is a more cost and time effective way to do this. Of course I am very interested (and excited!), but it seems like a lot of effort required on your part.

I will ask the techie other half tomorrow if he knows of a way you can download it and send it that way perhaps. I think the words he mentioned earlier this evening when I asked if he could get it for me, were "someone has to rip it" - probably meaning "rip it off" I expect. I will get back to you tomorrow Jane. Thank you.


I also had my techie other half look at the bbc link supplied by John and he said you have to live in the UK to be able to download the programmes. I think he said they check your ISP or something?

If you register with a Yahoo email address, they may possibly check the ISP, but there are always ways & means with these things 

I would never however suggest that anyone would give an incorrect address.

Very good John!

Caught up  with the videoed episode of Natasha Kaplinksy, it was indeed very good.

My only criticism of the programmes, is that it's all made to look so easy.

I agree Bob.  How many hours do we spend on the microfiche machines looking for evidence, and find nothing.  I wonder how many people they had looking for John Hurt's family on the census before he actually got there - so that they could say "Oh look here it is here"!!!

Did anybody notice the colour of John's brother's teeth?

Apart from that, I sit engrossed while it's on.

I blinked and missed the quantum leap from finding the Stafford lass' baptism in Croydon (with a Holborn link ? ) to how she was deemed to be William Lord Browne's cousin ?

Wonder why they didnt mention her parents - Edward and whomever - not being sought on the 1841 census ?
