Who Do You Think You Are?

Is it me or has this series disappeared off the listings?

Bitterly disappointed as well. Saw it was being shown again in Radio Times but seems to be off air after only 5 of ten programmes. Have discovered that, one of the missing five (Ian Hislop) is a distant relative and part of the programme dealt with my direct ancestors (as I now know) and was greatly looking forward to the repeat broadcast.

The Ian Hislop episode is being repeated:

I'd love to know if the next series (series 3) will be broadcast on UK TV History...

Hear Hear! missed this program the first time it was broadcast so was delighted to see it advertised as being shown on uktv History. Unfortunately just as I was really getting into it you stopped at series two. What happened to series three please tell me you plan to show it soon.....

Are you by any chance looking forward to the episode with David Tennant in...

why yes I am, but the rest of the series was very good too, I would not want anyone to think me shallow enough to wish a whole series to be shown just to see one person, though a very nice vision he is in what ever he appears.

oops I forgot to say though that my prayers have been answered and said series seems to be being repeated on BBC1 wednesday nights from today woo hoo!

Actually I wipe that from the record as checking the TV listings for next week it turns out that the rotters have teased me once again with one episode only. What about the rest?

Come on UKTV History be kind to us and show the third series, pretty please.......

they are fab progs wish i could find my ancestors but i dont have the foggist where to start plz who do think u are can u do mine plzplz

if you start with yourself any brothers/sisters, and your parents. write down everything you know and then ask them to check dates etc.
find the oldest person in your family and ask them for info.
your parents marriage certificate will tell you age and fathers name,
if you apply for birth cert that willgive you their parents name and so on back in time. try www.tangledwoodreasearch.co.uk
for help and tips etc
