My previous post about Irish themed Who Do You Think You Are episodes outside the US has lead to an unearthing of some
more episodes on YouTube. Tonight, the episode from British WDYTYA is about Brendan O'Carroll, a "comedian" from Ireland (4pm Eastern). See the Kerry O'Brien instructions, below, for how you might watch this episode.

Could not find video of episode.
WDYTYA is aired on the SBS network/channel
in Australia. If you are outside Australia, you might
try something like, ahem, this, and view them
on the SBS On Demand page (BBC iPlayer for the above mentioned Brendan O'Carroll episode).

Thanks Lisa, I have that first link in my first post about this topic http://www.townlandoforigin.com/2014/08/going-beyond-wdytya-usa.html. Thanks for the Julie Walters link, that didn't take long to find it's way onto YouTube!
