WDYTYA is coming to SBSTV in OZ

[trish251]

Don't forget this is on tonight SBS - Stephen Fry            

Why is it that I haven't watched any TV for a week and there are 2 shows on tonight at 7.30 that I want to watch

And if you live outside of Queensland don't post anything until 9.30pm - we are a little behind up here!

Count down time, Trish.    

Bet there are some comments posted on here afterwards....... I'll try to remember not to post until 9.30.......

Hear, hear, Trish!    

As I was such a total devotee of Operatunity Oz, I am going to have to watch it to find what happened to all those singers, and start watching WDYTYA next week.  I do wish the ABC and SBS would get their act together!

PS  I LOVE not having daylight saving here!  Lack of it is fine by me!

[Lady Di]

Oh I love Daylight Savings 'cos I get both NSW and Qld TV - I can watch WDYTYA twice - an hour later if I miss the first one.

But I didn't miss the first one - NOW I see what all the fuss was about in UK. Hope everyone else who was about to watch it in QLD and later states tunes in NOW - it was FANTASTIC 

OH says that he can now understand just why we do what we do

I wish they would do normal folk and give us the benefit of a team of researchers and investigators ... guess I'm not interesting enough for them.

Have just watched my first episode of WDYTYA and what an episode.  Ended up in tears just like Stephen did.    No wonder this show is such a hit.  Fantastic.
Bring on the Aussie version.  Wonder if they would like to do a show on my family? Might help me break down some brick walls!! Wouldn't it be wonderful?
On the other hand, would have no need to belong to RC and that would be a big loss in my life wouldn't it??

I doubt my Husband would agree with that ... this site is very helpful and highly addictive. 

Fortunately Sadly he is away in Victoria for a week.

Who Do You Think You Are has to do well known people to get big audiences but there are other programmes that have done "normal" people.  I think there has been one on TV but Tracing Your Roots has done so though the latest series finished last week.

Making History on Radio 4 also sometimes looks into an aspect of someone's family history.
