It was quite interesting but her voice droning on at the end sent me to sleep!

So is this the start of a new series or one borrowed from the USA series?? Anyone know, I know that Richard Madely is doing one for the new series, anyone know who else is lined up??

PS For anyone that missed the Jeremy Paxman episode it is just about to start on "yesterday" chanel 12 freeview, quite a good one from what I remember!

It is the American series :)

I missed it. Does anyone know if it will be repeated another day?

It's on BBC iplayer for the next 6 days, if that helps.

Thanks DET (sorry, I forgot I had asked about it)

As far as I know, the people featured in the US series of WDYTYA (currently showing on BBC1 on Sunday evenings) are....

Sarah Jessica Parker. (Actress. Her background: English, German, East European Jewish).
Emmit Smith (footballer, Dallas Cowboys).
Lisa Kudrow. (Actress, producer and is actually the producer of the US WDYTYA. Her background: Jewish immigrants from Belarus).
Matthew Broderick (Actor. His background: Jewish mother, Irish Catholic father).
Brooke Shields (Actress, author, model. Her background: French, and Italian nobility).
Susan Sarandon. (Actress. Her background: English, Irish, Welsh, Italian).
Spike Lee (film director, producer, writer, actor).

Was this a one off as cant find another episode or are they all stopped because of the football

Pam

WOW..... is there a football match on then???
When does it all end? :~(

Have just watched the Sarah Jessica Parker episode on BBC IPlayer. Thanks DET for the post. What a fabulous episode and a wonderful emotional journey. Loved it, can't wait for the next episode.

I loved it too, watched it yesterday on iplayer... and I loved her childish enthusiasm... she sounds just like me when I have discovered a well hidden rellie, lol.... She was so genuinely interested, and certainly kept my interest to the end... I would like to see a follow up of that one, too, as there is so much that couldn't be covered in the time, and it left me wanting to know more.

Brilliant.

Love

Daff xxxxxx

Think that this may have been a one off programmme as looked on next sundays programmes and not been abe to find it and only repeats of old WDYTYA , like many of you I enjoyed that one and was looking forward to seening more of the american series, why did the BBC tease us with just one programme.
Pam

Could it be that we are unlikely to have heard of the other participants? Possibly some of us would have heard of Brooke Shields (quoting Karen in the desert), but the rest? OK, I'm the first to admit that no notice is taken of 'real' names as opposed to character ones - lol

Ah, I'm sorry if I have misled anyone.
I presumed that as we were given Sarah Jessica Parker , then we were going to get ALL of the US version of WDYTYA, so I posted the listing of guests.
I didn't realise the BBC would be so mean as to show only one!!! Or is it because of the football perhaps?

Just seen that are putting the Brooke Shields episode on BBC on Sunday (4th July) at 9pm

Pam

Thanks Pam, I missed SJP but tried looking for the "next one" and couldn't find any trace of anythig about to happen.

Will watch on Sunday.
