The US episode of Who Do You Think You Are featuring Vanessa Williams (from Ugly Betty) can now be seen online at www.videobb.com/video/vj12R6XfO9l4. I've already seen it, and it is thoroughly recommended! (See http://scottishancestry.blogspot.com/2011/02/vanessa-williams-opens-wdytya-usa.html)
A huge thanks to Paula Campbell, who alerted me to this on the Scottish GENES Facebook page.

Yep, this was actually the first episode of WDYTYA that I've watched and was thoroughly charmed by it, and by her! I had no idea that there were African Americans in state gov so soon after emancipation.
ReplyDeleteIf you liked this you might enjoy the earlier series of WDYTYA on the BBC - there is a DVD boxed set of series 1-4, but it is in PAL format (as opposed to North American NTSC). Some eps are on You Tube though. Hope the rest of this series is as good!
