WDYTYA news

The continuing hit series Who Do You Think You Are? starts a new season on the BBC tonight with British soap EastEnders star June Brown as featured personality. The Genealogist has her profile here.

BBC WDYTYA magazine has episode information from previous shows, some containing short segments that were never broadcast.

News of the renewal of the Australian version of WDYTYA came over Twitter a couple of days ago. Announcement of the extension of the US series came some weeks ago.

Meanwhile the CBC appears to have no plans to restart the Canadian series. As the only broadcaster to have failed with the series, likely as they reduced episodes to a half hour, CBC TV management deservedly wear egg all over their faces.
