"Last Tango in Halifax star Anne Reid made a thinly veiled dig at the BBC at last night&amp;#039;s BAFTAs (May 12), applauding the broadcaster for finally realising that they can tell stories about characters over the age of 35. Romantic drama Last Tango In Halifax, which starred Reid and Derek Jacobi, was the &amp;#039;Drama Series&amp;#039; winner at last night&amp;#039;s BAFTAs. While on stage collecting the award, Reid chose to make comments about the domination of young people in TV drama.  &amp;quot;I am so glad the BBC has decided at last to do love stories about people who are over 35,&amp;quot; said the actress. &amp;quot;Some of us do have quite interesting lives when we get to 70.&amp;quot; Later, Jacobi added to Reid&amp;#039;s comments, telling journalists: &amp;quot;Not only the oldies are watching it but the young people find something in it that attracts them. &amp;quot;I just think people at home in a sense relax a little when they see the oldies like us doing it gently, as real as possible, no great trauma, no big stuff but hopefully reflecting their own lives.&amp;quot; The show&amp;#039;s exec producer Nicola Shindler added: &amp;quot;We never saw it as a drama about old people, or older relationships, we saw it as a love story. Because we put that at the centre of it people see beyond age and demographics. We did get a young audience, so hopefully it will have made some sort of difference.&amp;quot; BAFTAs 2013 - The Winners:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
