As a documentary TV Producer, I can empathize with the "pedal to the metal" process. Every time I watch WDYTYA, I'm thinking about all the research and hundreds of hours of time spent by all involved (after the research is done, the producer has to figure out how to weave the best elements into an intriguing story -- and as said, figure out how to schedule the celebrity with a tight production schedule. Long days.

Example, they know a woman married in 1927 so her names changes. Instead of mentioning finding clues in 1920, 1910, 1900, they often jump back to 1880 when the person was a child. That implies dice roll guessing & not connecting the dots. I do wish more could be mentioned for interum years ~ a single sentence would accommodate "we have taken it back to this period& discovered" instead of implying 1927 to 1880 is all they researched.<br /><br /><br />Beyond that, nice show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-2799429001506939532011-03-26T08:59:24.974-04:002011-03-26T08:59:24.974-04:00This was great.
