It appears that you can watch, for a limited period, if you are in England (don't know about the whole of the UK) online http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007t575/comingup

If you have Sky telly, you can tune into BBC Scotland who are showing it at 9pm...there was footy on here last night instead of WDYTYA.

Jodie's programme should be repeated next week.  Timings got awry due to the paralympics I think and there is now a delay of a week.

I did enjoy this episode. I liked how she seemed interested enough to take notes about the family. She seemed very honest about what she knew, unlike some celebrities' episodes where I think they know a lot more than they reveal to the cameras.

I would have liked to have seen the Scottish Aitken side explored. The only time I recall (and please forgive me if I'm incorrect) the ScotlandsPeople website being used on the show is during David Tennant's episode in series 3.

Well what a programme!  Absolutely gripping.  It was like watching a movie or reading a gripping yarn.   And beautifully shot too.   Fascinating to see the full circle from Yorkshire to America, Canada and then back to England again.

And I thought Jodie really added to the stories by they way she read out the letter from the King and the news report about the brothers....

I only saw the first half of Jodie Kidd last night, but I thought never mind I'll see the repeat tonight, but it looks as though someone at the beeb has made a mistake as they are showing David Suchet again. :(
This one should be repeated next week.  Everything is a bit skewed, as Ainsley episode wasn't repeated the same week due to the paralympics...last night's was the first repeat of David Suchet's episode, which frustrated me since I needed/wanted to record it for my research.

I did find Jodie to be a likeable person, although I must confess to being a little bored by this episode.  This was largely because it just lacked the air of discovery for me, as a lot of the facts surrounding her ancestors I already knew...the "big secret" about her grandfather's food hoarding, for example, was already mentioned on something as basic as his Wikipedia article, so it wasn't really that much of a surprise.  This is just a problem in researching ancestors with titles more than anything though, in that they would mostly already have biographies written about them and thus interesting little facts such as these would have already been explored.  By the time the episode had got onto something I didn't already know, my mind had moved on to doing work on my own tree again. :P :(

There are all sorts of articles in newspapers and magazines in the weeks and days before particular episodes of WDYTYA are screened. I deliberately avoid them - why spoil the programme?

It's a bit like all those mags which insist on giving away the soaps' storylines. Why?

They do irritate me (well, soaps in general irritate me anyway...but that's another story).  I generally tend to ignore articles and so forth regarding episodes before they've aired, although this one was a tad unavoidable since I do tend to read a lot of history...and the life and times of titled families are not all that secret.

I missed the first 15 minutes because I didn't know it was on.  >:(

Appart from that, it was good. I did however find it rather annoying at how quick she was to dismiss her Scottish roots to hunt out her State side origins. But then I'm bias.
