I agree with wilwarin32
When no one, somebody, something, etc is the subject in the statement, we use "it" in the tag to refer to something or nothing and "they" in the tag to refer to "someone or nobody".

- Somebody told you the news, didn �t they? - Quelqu �un vous a racont� la nouvelle, n �est-ce pas ?
- Nobody could answer that question, could they? - Personne ne pourrait r�pondre � cette question, n �est-ce pas ?

That�s right : Didn�t They??? is the correct tag question
REMEMBER : Somebody/someone and something refer to people or things whose identity is not known or is not being revealed. |

Correct me if I �m wrong all grammar experts but don �t you use "didn �t he, she, they" after a verb in the simple past?
