The Mumbles

Was last night's episode of Jmaygarin (Oo-arrr-riginal Brddish Drumumble) an improvement ?  Was it really a sound issue - or perhaps the revenge of Mebyon Kernow for their slighting in W1A, as director Philippa Lowthorpe sought authentic Cornish accents ?

We'll have to wait for the audience figures later this morning to judge. Meanwhile, if you're out and about on the roads this morning, watch out for a despatch rider heading rapidly towards the set of Pllldrrk (Poldark 2015) just outside Tetbury, carrying the DG's latest pamphlet, "Valuing Diction in Drama", a follow up to the 1974 essays by John Birt and Peter Jay highlighting "The Bias Against Understanding" in television news and current affairs.
