to think certain bbc programmes are thinly veiled elocution lessons?

watching silent witness.
the over-enunciation is painful.

still watching as it's the law

and the beautiful areal shots of london

I think a lot of people need elocution lessons, tbh 😉

It's how those particular actors speak, nothing odd about it, it's how I speak too

Actors who mumble are worse.

should of thort of it, innit :o

Blimey, I must be watching different BBC programmes to you OP, everything I see is so incomprehensible I have to put the subtitles on!

they speak so slowly that by the end of the sentence I forgot what the conversation is about.

agreed

Oh, let's have a pop at people why enunciate correctly and whose diction you can understand.
They must be posh snobs

Far worse, we keep having to turn stuff off as it's incomprehensible.

Like, to be fair, we could probably all do with, you know, like, a lesson.

Maybe it's to counter bbc Radio, where every single bloody presenter has a 'regional' accent, or a lisp or something.

@FiveGuyPastry 😂

Everyone has a regional accent.

True, but not everyone has a 'regional' accent.

Say less cuz
