On BBC2 at 9pm, they are showing the second installment of 'Who Do You Think You Are?' with Amanda Redman, and they used info from a fellow member on this board (sorry I've forgotten your name). AND on BBC3 they are showing the new series of 'Little Britain' at 9pm... do they think that we genealogists don't have a sense of humour or something?! hehe.

Bad planning from the Beeb me thinks - fancy scheduling two progs like that at the same time?? Doh!!

Bob - too rite! only trouble there is if you're on Telewest digital you cant watch another channel if you're recording :(( Just have to miss one of them I guess, cos I am recording the 'Who are you' episodes and the analogue signal is rubbish after the luxury of digital............

I'm recording Who Do You Think You Are too.... but what if we didn't have video recorders?! The trauma of that decision! hehe

Don't tell me Little Britain's back on too?! Honestly, there's never anything on telly that grabs me but tonight at 9 pm, there's Wife Swap, West Wing (on E4--fortunately repeated later), Who do you Think You Are? and now Little Britain! It's like the number 5 bus--nothing comes for ages, then they all come at once!

Have taped the Family History prog, and sat and watched Little Britain with hubby and son. Hilarious! Except there was a 'sick' sketch which I had to turn my face away from. But apart from that it was brilliant as usual :))))
