Coronation Street connection to St David’s Day

It's St David's day on Saturday March 1st and the Welsh can celebrate the fact that one of their national actresses, Maudie Edwards, had the first ever on-screen line in Coronation Street.

Now the next thing you'll want to do is get a sign writer in. That thing above the door'll have to be changed," was spoken by Welsh actress Maudie Edwards on 9 December 1960. She played corner shop owner Elsie Lappin who was talking to the new shop owner Florence Lindley.

You can, apparently, watch the full clip on itv.com - but I've had a look and I can't find it to link to.
