Well, if it was filmed in August, I expect they will air it...... :-\
How have you gathered "this intelligence"?

I may be way off the mark MH, but a couple of things were said about a visit to Africa, and how his family got their surname, and some filming …. So I put two and two together.  ;D

Isn`t there a programme about grandfathers on ITV. I haven`t watched it, just read about it, could be that.

Yes, there was a programme on recently called, I think, 'My Grandparents War'. There were 4 episodes. The episode featuring Kit Harington, an actor from Games of Thrones, was particularly interesting, showing his grandparents as spys in the second world war.

That crossed my mind too Billy - I wondered if it could be another family history based show, or even a stand alone, but WDYTYA is the original and possibly/probably still the best, so my guess is WDYTYA.  :)

MH, the reference to his family history, and time spent in Africa, was mentioned a couple of weeks ago during the Singapore Grand Prix. A bit more information here:

I believe he already had some previous knowledge of his FH, so I hope they can find some surprises.

Ah! Thank you Ruskie, now I understand.

But perhaps a book is coming?

Poor fella has had to sell his red jet, so times must be hard for him too.  :'(

I hadn’t heard about that MH. Young boys and their toys hey?  ;D

I’m sure we’ll find out in good time what the FH project is, if indeed there is one.  :)
