Coming Home

Then it should not be in this section. It is not an international version of WDYTYA where all others listed in this section are.

As far as I can see that section is not marked "International", it is "Other Countries" and Wales is another country. --jmb (talk) 12:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a good point - that I wished I've thought of!! I've now re-named the section and hope he'll accept that.--UpDown (talk) 15:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Misnumbered series

The BBC webpages for this programme show the current (2010) series as series 7, not series 8 as depicted here. This error seems to have crept in during the 2009 series, which appears to have been shown in two halves through the year but which, according to the BBC, both formed an 11 episode series 6, not two series of 5 and 6 episodes.

Unless anyone has any other source that does show the series numbering as listed, I'd suggest changing it? sjwk (talk) 00:16, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've now made this change in line with series information online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007t575 The old 'Who Do You Think You Are' BBC page for earlier series hasn't been updated since the mid-series break in 2009 so doesn't show the second batch of series six. But the current series seven site does refer to them in the list of last shown episodes from other series - eg, Kim Cattrall is shown as episode 10 of 11 for series six. sjwk (talk) 07:16, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have they done Peter Serafinowicz yet?

Bookmark

I have tried to bookmark this page (as well as the US TV series version). But clicking on the bookmark in my browser sends me to the wiki-page about the Spice Girl song "Who do you think you are". The browser address seems to be correct, so I do not understand why this happens. Does anyone else have the same problem? 80.56.140.119 (talk) 23:37, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a Wiki thing. The ? at the end is ignored if it's typed as a question mark in the address bar, so will send you to Who Do You Think You Are instead of this page. Make sure the link in your bookmarks is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Do_You_Think_You_Are%3F_(UK_TV_series) Hope that helps. –anemone projectors– 15:10, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That explains it and helped me to bookmark this page correctly. Thank you for your response. 80.56.140.119 (talk) 21:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Who Do They Think They Are?: 10 Years, 100 Shows

According to the BBC's episode guide, this special programme isn't a part of series 11. Are we right to treat it as such? –anemone projectors– 09:35, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of episodes page

There's no denying that this entire article is a mess. I propose a List of Who Do You Think You Are? episodes page to try and clear some things up. TheMysteriousEditor (talk) 12:51, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
