Listed as showing in Australia on C9 at 9.30pm tonight - given the preceeding program - it will probably start later

Thanks Trish,

I missed that, probably because there’s so little of value on the commercial channels that I don’t bother watching them anymore. It doesn’t appear to be on Channel 9’s list of shows that are viewable on demand.

The SBS Australian series of WDYTYA is still running on demand, but probably not viewable outside of Australia. Here’s one about one of my lot. http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/whodoyouthi ... play/auto/

All the best,
Alan

Hi Alan

I watched that one - given her mother's roll in the fight for the equality of women in Queensland the family is well known in my part of the country. It must be interesting to find your own folks on WDYTYA - I fear not enough fame within my lot - although through my maternal ancestors I think I am related to a large % of NSW residents including the odd MP and football hero, so who knows.

As for C9 - I only found the program through a review in the paper - one would have thought the program (WDYTYA) was designed from day 1 just for them to show. It was, however, a change from the usual regurgitation of 30 year old shows and hosts.

Hello Trish,

She’s pretty distant, 4th cousin. I’d heard stories she was related but it wasn’t until her father’s name and grandfather’s name was mentioned, and the story unfolded, that things really fell into place. I had only managed to get as far forward as her grandfather.

All the best,
Alan
