Might have to wait a while Dee !!

- Diana said they are in production for series 5.

but if it is half as good as this series then 6 is certainly a must!

Hi, does anyone know if there are any plans to show this series in the UK? I'm guessing not as I've not seen any of the others yet.
It seems such a shame as we seem to get everything else such as bondi beech and bondi vet. It doesn't matter that we may not know the celebrities it would still be interesting to watch especially as the two country's share so much history.
Regards
Andrea.

And also as so many of our celebs end up going back to UK to find their roots !!

Is anyone continuing to watch the (UK) WDYTYAs which are being shown in the same timeslot? I've seen them before but will watch them again. Bruce Forsyth was featured last night. They uncovered a fascinating story about his great grandfather. Recommended if any of you get the chance to see it.
A rootschat discussion about it here:

Andrea, I hope you eventually get the Australian series in the UK. I'm not sure if any of the previous series have been aired on UK TV. Diana may know? $:-\$ I agree, it is irrelevant whether or not you are familiar with the celebrity - it can still be enjoyed.

Watched Bruce Forsyth last night - it was interesting I have to say.

Specially liked the reaction of the US family when he told them the news!

I totally agree that the Australian series screened in the UK would be very relevant given the shared history. In Australia we get both the UK and the US versions. Come to think of it show it in the US - now that will never happen! The US version tends to be of the connection to the Mayflower variety, which gets a little much for foreign viewers.

I want to say that Michael O'Loughlin episode - agree with comments - outstanding episode. The most dignified and respectful person.

Did I dream it, or did I see something about a South African version of WDYTYA, maybe in a TV Guide?

Though I love the whole concept of the show, I'm afraid I find it difficult to watch the American version - they've messed with it so much (no surprise there), with so many "recaps" as to make it virtually unwatchable ........ in my opinion.

Yes Ruskie, I am sure that there was a South African version on SBS last year.
