I've only heard of two of the people on this list, but I look forward to seeing them. I've often found that the episodes about people I've never heard of/don't like are the most interesting. 
Thanks for the heads up BillyF.

Excellent news.  Even if I don't like the person I give all new episodes a go.

I do hope that in the episodes they do not get hung up on WW1 activities.

When they make a young person the subject of WDYTYA it inevitably includes a large section on WW1, usually with depressing results.

Biggles on top of that, Irish famine, slaves, Jewish ancestors.

It usually is a bit predictable.

One of the tv listings magazines gave a synopsis of all the episodes and an in depth on Jess Ennis Hill. I could have just not read them but ….. I preferred it when no one except the programme makers knew what was coming and then it was all a surprise. Looking forward to the series though.
