I wonder how long it will be before one of the networks here, picks up this idea. Does anyone know if this broadcast is accessible on the Internet? "Who Do You Think You Are?" This major new TV series starting on 12 October on BBC 2 sees well known celebrities tracing their family roots and revealing secrets and surprises from their pasts. The series travels the globe as each celebrity embarks on a voyage of personal discovery, exploring their personal history and discovering fascinating facts that had been hidden by the passage of time. After each programme, viewers will be shown practical tips on how to trace their own family history and will be encouraged to do their own research, inspired by the celebrities’ stories. Complementing the BBC 2 series, Family Ties on BBC 4 is a collection of moving and inspiring stories of ordinary people who have discovered extraordinary events through their own genealogical research. The series will also be supported by 12 road shows and 300 Archive Awareness Campaign events across Britain. The culmination of these road show events will be "National Family History Weekend" on 4 and 5 December when local BBC radio stations will host a series of events in their area with the aim of bringing together new and more experienced family historians and providing a forum to help people research their family history.
