WDYTYA? USA - Kelsey Grammar

OK, so this was the last episode of this series of WDYTYA? USA on Watch - the UK hasn't yet picked up the Minnie Driver episode because she was previously featured on the UK show.

So, Kelsey Grammar's episode rounded off the series on Watch. And it was fairly interesting, focussing on aspects of American history that we in the UK probably don't get to see that much - like the wagon trails west. We tend to think of US immigration as being from Europe etc., and not think of the continent-wide journeys taken by thousands of Americans from the East coast to the Western states.

The other enduring aspect of this video was the all-too-relatable story of alcoholism and family strife that permeated into the family of Kelsey's grandmother. It makes for an interesting story, but not one that you would ever want to have to experience yourself.

Can't wait for the UK series to return to our screens now!
