Helen Mirren
Dame Judy Dench
Tony Robinson

I would also like to see a non celeb WDYTYA but just don't think it will pull in the viewers.

It may have been my imagination, but I think Tony Robinson was done in the first series ???

I think Hugh Laurie or Rowan Atkinson would be good for WDYTYA to feature :)

i agreed with these

Someone said they saw Patsy Palmer being filmed for WDYTYA.

I suppose it may be that many major celebs who are asked if they will particpate, decline .... so then they need to go to second choices etc ...

Some more:

Joanna Lumley
Tony Blair
Cilla Black


but not these

Mike Harding could be interesting.
My ex oh's sister was a cub leader of the group that he was in. [Sorry that does not sound very grammatical]
Also I have sung with Mike Harding at folk clubs in the Prestwich area

Hooray - someone who knows who Mike Harding is! Usually when I mention him people say "Mike who?"  I went to see him on one his tours many moons ago (when he was still into his one-man stand-up comic routine) - and nearly died laughing!

How about Nick Barrett ... the man who does some of the research for these programmes ?

Presumably he's done his own ... but it would be interesting to see how an expert did it, and to know his background ... and if another reseacher could find out more !

That would be interesting - she was adopted. Have we had an adopted child to date?

I would love to see Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE.

I saw him on Top Gear, and I could have listened to him all night.

Also, David Jason gets my vote.

David Jason's ancestry has been covered in Family History magazine, Sept 06.
I bought the magazine today in a museum shop for 50p. Now off to read it...
