Has anyone heard of anyone else who is appearing? |

They're the only two I've seen mention of so far, Shona.

I don't know if I'll be able to watch either of those without a bottle of something to blot them out a bit!

Brian Blessed is rather loud.

He is also very excitable! It should be interesting to see his reaction.

Imagine him in a library or record office where you are normally meant to be quiet?

Lets hope with Brendan O'Carroll we see some short cuts in Irish research. First time I've done it very recently and not easy.

Funny, I was just thinking about Brian Blessed recently and wondering when he got so loud? He used to be a perfectly acceptable actor (Z cars? something like that?) then he disappeared from MY radar for years and came back as a manic foghorn!
I know something of Brendan O'Carroll's family history and I think it should make riveting viewing. OC |

Just bought the latest issue of WDYTYA magazine and it has the full list:
Julie Walters, Mary Berry, Brendan O'Carroll, Tamzin Outhwaite, Twiggy, Brian Blessed, Reggie Yates, Sheridan Smith, Martin Shaw and Billy Connolly. I actually recognise all the names for once! I've seen them all on telly except for Mary Berry and I have heard of her. |

Brendan O’Carroll Brendan’s story is a deeply personal quest to solve a murderous family mystery. Sheridan Smith Sheridan has grown up surrounded by a musical family, she’s on a hunt to find out where it all started. Mary Berry Mary wants to know where – at 79 – her energy and drive comes from, her journey reveals some unexpected and familiar twists and turns. Martin Shaw Martin never knew his grandfather. An old photograph kick starts a journey to uncover who he was. Reggie Yates Reggie grew up knowing very little about his father’s side of the family. A trip back to Ghana reveals a complex family history where Ghanaian culture and British colonialism collide. Twiggy Twiggy grew up in a close knit family in London - but admits that her parents told her nothing at all about her family. Her adventure reveals a colourful cast of characters. Billy Connolly Billy has always considered himself Scottish through and through – but discovers that his ancestry is considerably more exotic. |
