In Pictures: Who Do You Think You Are? Live 2015 (and 2016’s show dates)

Now that I’m safely home and recovering in a bath of tea from this year’s superb 3 day Who Do You Think You Are? Live show, I thought i’d share my photos.

But before I do, there’s been some initial confusion over the 2016 show dates. Chris Paton (from The British GENES blog) picks up the case, and Else Churchill from The Society of Genealogists confirmed 2016’s show dates, again at the NEC:

@ChrisMPaton @WDYTYALIVE At @WDYTYALIVE NEC came up with good deal for 2-3 years but can only offer 1st weekend of April as regular gig

— Else Churchill (@SoGGenealogist) April 19, 2015

Else explains that the plans changed over the weekend – presumably based on the success of the show rather than a guesstimate of its success, given that it had also moved home.

UPDATE: The Who Do You Think You Are? Live team have also now confirmed the dates:

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we’ve had to amend the dates for 2016. These will be 7, 8 & 9 April at the NEC.
