WDYTYA is about famiy history- they trace one person's tree along one or two lines to (usually) an interesting person or moment in history. It makes the whole process look easy but it is usually also fascinating. Some people cry (Ian Hislop for example), some end up related to royalty or whose ancestors fought in a famous battle, or were in the workhouse. Is there an actress called Anne Reid?

Many years ago when Coronation Street first appeared, I think there was an actress called Anne Reid taking part, if my memory serves me rightly.

Anne Reid has recently been brilliant in the first two series of "Last Tango in Halifax", playing opposite Derek Jacobi.

(The least said about the third series, the better.)
