How can you “have the same ancestry” as someone else? =/

Can’t wait to watch! =D Hope we find out soon when it’ll be on, they usually tend to start in August/September.

Btw it’s a series not a season, we don’t really have season premieres of TV shows in the UK =P

It doesn’t look like Hulu has the BBC WDYTYA? …. It’ll most likely make it’s way online somewhere though. Can’t wait to see it!

It’ll be on in August on BBC (UK). And no we don’t do “seasons” like you do in the US. Sadly because of box sets etc still referring to “seasons” on DVDs, it has become common place to say season, when its wrong! I was watching E4 and the announcer called something a season finale which got me really irritated.
