I am puzzled. I listened to the beginning of a BBC 3rd Programme play on Sunday - w'therin' 'ites by that Bronte lass - and then, on a nod from my partner, we agreed to turn it off. Not because of the naughty words but becaause of the poor voices. I was looking foward to hearing the local dialects being richly spoken. My dad had a marvellous Yorshire dialect. We would far rather have had the words said with love of them even if a bit iffy on the side of being correctly Yorkshire than what we were given. I'm intrigued by the lack of good voices coming out of drama schools. I value dialects - Think Northern Broadside - but....come on you voice teachers, do your stuff!
