Could it be that nobody knows because it is The Unknown Soldier?

No, it's very definitely a man.
Don't worry, it is a bit obscure!
His identity is known, because it is Brigadier General Charles FitzClarence VC, who was killed in action on 11th November 1914. He has no known grave and is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing. He is the highest ranked officer commemorated on the Memorial and was given the "position" to mark this.
Over to you, PetertheGreat!

When was Coronation Street first broadcast?

Correct - one of several possible answers you could have given that would have all also been accepted; the others obviously mainly involving Ken Barlow's length of service.
The clapperboard is yours.

Jannngs was a German actor or director. First director’s Oscar award?

Near enough. He actually won the Best Actor award for his roles in two silent films in 1927.

At the first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929, two ‘Best Director’ awards were made, the only time that this has happened. Why?

No, but you have the right idea.

No. The difference wasn’t technical.

No, much further away.

No, a bit further away than your last guess.
If you were taking someone to a film, you might ask, “What type of film do you want to see? ...,...”

Correct. There was one for a Comedy Picture and one for a Dramatic Picture.
For you to clap the clapperboard.
