Particularly looking forward to...

Olivia Coleman...A brilliant actress, loved her in the Broadchurch series.
Boy George..I seem to remember he had an Irish background, but I could be wrong.
Lee Mack....Love him!
Judge Rinder....Wonder if his ancestors were as posh as he appears to be :-D

What a surprise! The only one I've never heard of this time is Marvin Humes.

I find the show much more interesting when I have heard of the subject.

Heard of Olivia Coleman & ‘Judge’ Rinder but have never watched anything they’ve been in. Familiar with Boy George from my yoof, but the rest of the names? Nope.

I’ll await reports on the programme format before deciding if the series is worth watching.

I've recently started watching the US Who Do You Think You Are? programmes and have downloaded loads ready to see. I am enjoying them.

Which WDYTYA celebrity was your Ancestor featured in Joy?

The new series starts tomorrow ( Thursday in Scotland) so why is it not listed in next weeks TV book I wonder!! Not seeing it in my tv magazine?
Brand new series but already the TV folk are F/messing about with it!

Hi Emma, I just don't get it, & when you see the rubbish that is being shown at 9-00pm on both the Wednesday & Thursday next week it is very annoying to have a brand new series of WDYTYA mucked about with so soon!

I agree but nothing surprises me with
the channels these days.
We are usually on other channels which we enjoy
so can always find something to watch :-)

It’s listed in the week’s TV programmes that came with last Saturday’s Daily Telegraph. 9 pm BBC1 Michelle Keegan. Thanks for the reminder that it’s on. We are out tomorrow so I must remember to set the recorder.

It is listed in my RT, together with a little write up about Michelle Keegan. But thank you for the hands up, I still might have missed it.

Will have to check that I have this new series on my "record this series" list.

I recognise most of the people on the list because i am an avid Strictly fan. I also know that name Michelle Keegan, but couldn't put a face (or other details) to her.

Looking forward to the series.
