I kid you not - she`s here today filming for the BBC`s " Who do you think you are " programme.

Gosh, is she an Old Girl then? Just looking on Wikipedia, the subjects for this year's series don't include her (guess not, they'd be finished filming by now), so she must be one of next year's.

Does anyone else find this series as relentlessly fascinating as I do? Although like all long-standing series, it is slightly falling into clichés and predictable patterns - suspense, build-ups and big reveals etc. I remember the Carol Vorderman one where they thought her ancestor had been photographed meeting Queen Victoria, so they built it up into a big quest, only discover that the lady in the photo was the local lady of the manor, not VR at all. And when they finally showed a close-up of the photo, it really didn't look much like VR at all, they just wanted to run with a story and build up the suspense. Still, it's a relatively small criticism; I love the series on the whole.

Marty is obsessed with Fiona Bruce. Goodness knows what he is going to do on Sunday evenings

Who is it that is obsessed with Shami Chakrabarti? In my dim little mind I thought that was Marty, too.....

I've a pretty good idea, Mary !

Did Janet get a good look at the touch-up artist ? It might JUST have been Marty !!
