I suppose it depends on who decides the subject (for example Michael Parkinson) is of no interest. With the new style WDYTYA they may have included historic events from Yorkshire.

The new format of WDYTYA appears to repeat the facts/discoveries which wastes time! the editing is  confusing -  Sarah Millicans being a prime example. The divers wife was from Lowestoft, and ? some of their children born in Yarmouth (only caught a quick glance of the information on the family tree) would have liked a bit more information on his family, but it was not to be.

Carol, my OH comes from Suffolk and would suggest Bernie Ecclestone who was born in Bungay.

I would like to see Bob Mortimer & Chris Rea on WDYTYA representing Cleveland.

My Grandmother was widowed at 24 and her four children were brought up by members of both families. She went on to have several other children and not marry the father, although the children took his sir name. The first four children were not aware who was their real mother. Now the offspring of the children are doing research and are wanting information.
The man my Grandmother had several children with, also fathered a few more in the same area! He was caught out when he ended up in hospital, and the families both turned up.
I had just moved from East Anglia and received a request for information re Grandfather. It turned out my Grandfathers other family had relatives in East Anglia, and we lived in the same town. We also had a lot more in common, alas we never met.
My father was furious about all the information discovered and it turned out his siblings were aware of all the other families but dad refused to accept any of it. His sister was more forthcoming but it has caused a big rift in the Family.
I decided to leave my research until a much later date when it can not upset anyone. As has been stated the records are out there, unfortunately the information required from family members may not be.
