Anne Reid in new ITV drama

Former Coronation Street actress Anne Reid, who played Valerie Barlow, will be seen in a new series on ITV1. The series is called Marchlands and Anne will appear from episode two onwards. She was awarded the MBE last year and talks about the honour in this interview with Ian Wylie. She also has some interesting comments about her days in Corrie back in the 1960s.

Marchlands is about a haunted house and its effects on three different families that live there in the late 60s, late 80s and present day.

Anne was also recently seen in the revival of Upstairs Downstairs and is waiting to hear if a further series is going to be commissioned.

Marchlands starts tonight on ITV1 at 9:00pm.
