First guest announced for new series of “WDYTYA?”

If we don't get this in Oz I will be severely PO'd. I love David Suchet. I'll never forget him as Blott.

Yeah - Blott! I can still hear that brass band impersonation they played as the soundtrack.

Is that the only comedy he's done? I've seen Mr Suchet as Poirot and various "baddies" in films, but I can't recall him in any comedies, other than "Blott on the Landscape".

Does anyone know when the new series is broadcast?
David Suchet - that sounds fascinating
But I do wish- they would run companion series for ordinary people whose trees are often just as fascinating if not more so.

Can’t find anything on the BBC’s website about the new series – but confess that I do get confused easily!

When I saw the original Teletext about David Suchet, it was two pages long – and it did give more info about David – and where his family originated (now given by oldtimer – thanks).  Unfortunately someone forgot to post this info - and when he went back to it – it had been reduced to the first page.
I thought that it said the programme starts in June – but, knowing my track record, I would say that “it might start in June”. 

Here’s a BBC link: http://www.rootschat.com/links/02or/ to more info about him.

I remember reading somewhere that his Jewish father was from Latvia or Lithuania.

Blimey! I am seriously going to have problems with him not coming from Belgium.

Someone asked me once - how many famous Belgians can you name ?

I said Hercule Poirot......
but he's not really Belgian

Are there any others  ?
I'm sure there must be
