First guest announced for new series of “WDYTYA?”

[Musicman]

According to an “Exclusive” on ITV Telext today – page 140 “Celebrity News”, one of the stars tracing their ancestors in the next series of “WDYTHA?” will be David Suchet (a.k.a. Hercule Poirot).

He said he is “very nervous because he knows nothing about his family at all.”

Looking forward to the new series.

Thanks for the update Musicman;  I've been wondering when announcements would be made.   Interesting surname to research.

Be interesting to see if they involve his brother John Suchet, the newsreader.

For an abbreviated version of what is/was on teletext. On teletext it did give the original surname before it was abbreviated to Suchet - a more east European name.

Patsy Kensit should be there too, a friend of mine saw the filming at the LMA

oh Goody! One of my favourites too 

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

Should be really interesting!!

Do we know when the series will be shown?

I like David Suchet - it will be interesting to see what turns up about his family.  I hope they involve his brother in the filming, too.

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.
