Who Do You Think You Are? is an Australian television documentary reality series, part of the international franchise and adaptation of the original British series on BBC of the same name, airing on SBS One. SBS first aired six episodes of the BBC series in late 2007, followed by six Australian episodes beginning 13 January 2008, and then six more from the original BBC version.[1] Each episode profiles a celebrity tracing their family tree, and is narrated by Richard Mellick.
The success of the series led to SBS One and the National Archives of Australia jointly organising a Shake Your Family Tree day on 27 February 2008 to promote genealogy.[2] SBS One renewed the series for a sixth series on 29 August 2012.[3] The latest season of Who Do You Think You Are?, is scheduled to appear on the SBS from 4 August 2015, with Geoffrey Rush featured on Episode 1.
