Patrick Stewart to appear "Who Do You Think You Are?"

[MikeS]

I don't know if you overseas forumers can get the BBC IPlayer to watch this. Basically it's a show where celebrities investigate their family tree and find interesting and suprising information about their ancestory. Expect Sir Patrick to have some Northern coal-mining relations, maybe some Orwellian-type characters straight from The Road To Wigan Pier.

And if you can't get IPlayer in the States consider it our payback for CBS not replacing our faulty blu-fish discs yet.

I saw the trailer last week and I really can't wait. I have always enjoyed watching WDYTYA and I am looking forward to seeing Patrick on it

Spotted that too. Looking forward to seeing both Patrick Stewart and Alex Kingston.

Forget that, I'm expecting a chateau!

There are few coal mines in West Yorkshire (4 vs South Yorkshire's 36). Mirfield and Huddersfield were predominantly textile production areas. Stewart's Mum worked in a local mill.
