I am sure there are numerous Rootschatters who could supply equally interesting material.

Been discussed before! :D

Few people would bother to watch?

E.G. Do you watch WDYTYA USA?

I am not sure if that is valid.

DNA Family Secrets.

Long Lost Family

Both have stood the test of time and not being a BBC series if these did not attract the advertising revenue then no doubt they would be cancelled.

Ross Kemp will be especially interesting. He was married to Rebekah Brooks the CEO of Rupert Murdoch's News International / News UK.

I quite like watching Long Lost Family but it is more for tracing living relatives or biological family who may or may not have died, I guess a genealogy style WDYTYA for Joe Public would be good but it may not get the viewers that the celeb WDYTYA would get.

Researching:

LONDON, Coombs, Roberts, Auber, Helsdon, Fradine, Morin, Goodacre
DORSET Coombs, Munday
NORFOLK Helsdon, Riches, Harbord, Budery
KENT Roberts, Goodacre
SUSSEX Walder, Boniface, Dinnage, Standen, Lee, Botten, Wickham, Jupp
SUFFOLK Titshall, Frost, Fairweather, Mayhew, Archer, Eade, Scarfe
DURHAM Stewart, Musgrave, Wilson, Forster
SCOTLAND Stewart in Selkirk
USA Musgrave, Saix
ESSEX Cornwell, Stock, Quilter, Lawrence, Whale, Clift
OXON Edgington, Smith, Inkpen, Snell, Batten, Brain

I shall watch that on my friend's TV it's one of the very best TV programmes there is. I often wish I had the research skills of the professionals supporting WDYTYA

(I got rid off my TV due to so much rubbish on it)
