A documentary entertainment in England's forgotten language, Dialect, performed in the Accent of those for whom Barth will always be Bath and Coventry will never be Cuventry.
Introduced by Melvyn Bragg

The programme includes contributions from: Professor Harold Orton, who was responsible for the revival of dialect studies, Stanley Ellis of Leeds University's Institute of Dialect Studies, Domini Wiles of Bradford who is just one of 1,000 viewers who sent in dialect contributions to the programme, a selection of the poems performed by the poets (some of them have been set to music by Peter Skellern), and Fred Reed of Northumberland, England's leading contemporary dialect poet.

'Michele's got a posh voice'.
Children from Mile End School, Grimethorpe, talk about their accents, Joan Bakewell remembers when she tried to acquire a posh voice, and educationist Sybil Marshall discusses the pressures on children to talk posh.
