It certainly did Marie .... although we are tempted to email Franco and ask why he didn't push for them to do one of our ex-residents and give our Museum a bit of exposure!

Don't worry about exposure, I have your establishment on my list for the next time I'm through there.

The bad news is that I won't tell you when we're coming, just turn up and play the tourist from hell whilst all the time having a giggle.

That's very unfair Denn!

Good news for those who missed an episode!

Who Do You Think You Are?
The last episode of the Australian edition of Who Do You Think You Are? is due to go to air on SBS on Sunday night, and features Ita Buttrose. Also good news for anyone who either missed an episode, or enjoyed them so much they want to see them again, due to the popularity of the show they will be re-screening on SBS on Friday nights. Those that are already scheduled are:

Friday 22 February - Jack Thompson
Friday 29 February - Kate Cebrano
Friday 7 March - Geoffrey Robertson

Apparently WDYTYA has done well:

The outstanding success of SBS’s locally produced Who Do You Think You Are?, which achieved the largest ever audience share for an SBS local production, has provided a double boost by delivering a huge audience to the next program of the night, according to new figures from OzTAM.

The first locally produced episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, featuring veteran actor Jack Thompson, drew 857,000 viewers on Sunday, 13 January, in the 7.30pm timeslot, narrowly missing out on being SBS’s number one program of the week to the rampant Top Gear (942,000).

Hope this is the incentive needed to produce more programmes and to show all of the UK series.

Oh, thanks for that good news, Ruskie!!    I'll be watching again! 

Hope that does convince our media that family history IS very popular and deserves coverage!

ancestry.com.au must be rubbing their hands with glee, too!

Excellent.
We missed Kate Cerbrano so I will have to remember that it is on.
