I've seen a lot of Izzard names in some Bedfordshire villages as I was ploughing through the 1851. Should be interesting

Here's a bit more info Following on from the success of BBC TWO's critically-acclaimed Who Do You Think You Are?, Nicola Moody, Commissioner for Documentaries & Contemporary Factual, and Roly Keating, Controller of BBC TWO, have commissioned Wall to Wall to make a second series of six one hour programmes. At least now the Sherlock Holmes of the site know they are looking for 6 names! Penny

I wish they'd involve ordinary people like me, lol! Do you think they'd listen to that plea? (Yeah, right!) Good to hear it's coming back, though.

I spoke to someone involved in this programme last year. He said another series was planned but because of the time it takes to make it would probably be 2006 before it was shown. Of course Eddie Izzard could trace his Mother's side! Jane
