Hi All, Just read about this in my TV mag: New Documentry coming soon on BB2 (no date as yet). Called 'Who do you think you are?. Text Reads: In a major family history project, ten well-known figures including Moira Srewart, Ian Hislop, Jeremy Clarkson & Meera Syal go back to their roots and research their family trees. May be interesting watching, will keep you posted when a date is known. Lynn (chalfont st giles)

One of the things I miss in england is the telly. I once saw a program (in GB) and it said England has some of the best programs in the world. I laughed, but I am not laughing now, it has cost me a fortune to get english channels but god is it worth it, Hope we get the documentry, I need all the help I can get with my lot. even if it is 8 months behind lol. Well just off to watch 2 hours of Corrie street (4 months behind) lol.

Debra, Isn't there some way pertinent programs could be video-taped and posted to you, or are the systems different. 'fraid I'm not to good at in depth electronics. Sylvia BBC 2

Linda No it has some thing to do with the uk being 240 volts and Canada is 140 (I think), you can get videos change but it would cost a lot if it is going to be a series. Debra

Debra What special part of Canada do you live in that you are only 4 months behind in Coronation Street? On CBC we are ( in BC) up to Novenber 2003, making it 9 months behind. We subscribe to BBC Canada - great channel. East Enders 3x a week Deb - British Columbia
