Seems everyone is interested in finding out how to make a family tree at the moment, the guardian reports that 6.5 million people tuned into watch the BBC's "Who Do You think You Are?" show. For those who haven't seen it they have various TV personalities on, and show them their family history.

 

"BBC1's genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? returned last night with more than 6 million viewers tuning in to see BBC newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky attempt to discover the fate of her grandfather's Jewish family in Eastern Europe.

The show pulled in 6.5 million and a 30% share between 9pm and 10pm, the highest rating first episode of any of its previous three series, according to unofficial overnights.

The BBC said the rating was 2 million above the slot average. Last week, 2.6 million people tuned into Panorama in the same slot.

The big ratings for Who Do You Think You Are? pushed ITV1's Hell's Kitchen into second place, with 3.9 million and an 18% share in the same slot."
