Yes, I should read up on SBS reception here and adjust (or get a young chap to adjust!) the aerial; my roof is pretty flat so I guess I could try to do so myself ...  And should have done so long since.  Younger son (not quite a young chap - though certainly so from my vantage point) will be here in a couple of weeks - perhaps I can con him into doing this!

Ruskie, I was a bit amazed by the top lip too (apologies to the actress) - most unusual.

Trish, I'd vote for rain rather than reception!

(phew, glad it wasn't just me Jap  ;)). Good actress though, especially with the waterworks  :'(.

I DO worry about WDYTYA on SBS at this time of the year. Prefer to see it on the ABC before Parkinson - another show featuring (largely) UK personalities.

I wouldn't have known it was going to be on if I hadn't read about it here. (Although I did learn of it later in a Gould Genealogy newsletter).

BBC Wales also have a series "Coming Home" which traces the Welsh ancestry of various celebrities but I don't think it has been shown outside Wales.

Ok Martin, don't rub it in  ;) - we already feel neglected enough here in Australia when it comes to good TV .... looks like an interesting programme.

Whohooo this is great news  !   It is about time that our interests were better represented on the googlebox! It is a shame that they don't show us the Aussie programmes whilst we are waiting our next series, that would be very interesting.

Martin, you have made my day   :)  being a Davies myself  with Jones, Roberts and Welsh Robinsons in tow....Lets see how they tackle the Welsh.

Sarah ;)

Perhaps someone may be able to copy the Australian shows to send to you Sarah?
