Have often wondered how many celebs the researchers have to look at before they find one whose family is interesting enough for a TV program.
Also, how many hours of research and how much expense in order to get the information used to create the program.
Love the series, really looking forward to the next one.

I'm just pleased there is a new series to look forward too!  I'm sure there will some very interesting things in that line up. Now what's the betting it will be on when it's my choir practice night and I'll have to record it  :)

Hi,

My thanks for the heads up regarding the new series, I had been wondering when that was going to be on & who would be on it!

I think they could all be interesting, but we shall see! Certainly an interesting mix of Celebs this time! ;D

Must admit that I didn't know who Brendan O'Carroll was & wasn't quite sure who Reggie Yates was either! Glad I wasn't the only one! ;D

I look forward to seeing them.

Kind regards

Looking forward to new series. Lots of interesting people. I usually find very few I know although enjoy following their stories.
As far as Mrs Brown goes. I'm really looking forward to it. Have watched many of the live shows in the Pavilion theatre Glasgow. The first one I wasn't keen to go-didn't think it was "my Scene"!
How wrong I was!! Never  laughed so much. A great night out The crude language/content, mentioned in above review, blends in and is not the least offensive. Terrific audience participation and the deliberate going off script  by Mrs Brown to confuse the cast was brilliant. All part of the fun. The TV version kept that up to a certain extent-not sure how the film will work though.

Just wish I could see it here without waiting for a couple of years. On the positive side a new series of the Norwegian version started here tonight. It is called "Hvem tror du at du er?" It is actually quite good. I have now watched UK, US, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish versions. The least professional is the US version which covers very little ground in the programme compared with the others and where the standard reaction of the individual concerned seems to be "Wow" rather than a response that relates to the findings.

The Australian version is just about to start here. Usually I don't get to watch it because my husband isn't that interested.

This time, HE said we'll have to watch the series. When I checked out the line up of celebs, I understood because this series is FULL of his favourite actors/tv celebs.

Probably most of you outside Australia may not know them but the ones I'm looking forward to are:

Jackie Weaver, Andrew Denton, Richard Roxburgh, Paul McDermott - it's just great!

Can't wait!

Oooh goody!!! I didn't know about this. Do you know the start date hsfam? SBS?

The Australian version is on a par with the UK one, probably because they use the same format (I even like the gum tree in the intro which replaces the UK oak ()) and music (which the addition of the didg) - all clever touches I think .... unlike the American version which messes with it beyond recognition and recaps ad nauseum as is their wont.  ::)
