In Praise of Rabbie
 
No, not Burns, I mean Rab C Nesbitt, Glasgow street philosopher, who turned up on BBC2 last night after 10 years absence.

http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...in_563568a.jpg It was great to see Rab again, now "on the wagon", apart from 1 disastrous slip up (that Jamesie Cotter has a lot to answer for). Fingers crossed this will be the start of a new series. :D

I used to enjoy Rab C Nesbitt and watched this new show, but I struggled to understand it this time because his accent seems more pronounced than before.
I switched channels because I lost patience trying to understand - perhaps I should have tried to switch on some subtitles:confused:

I think you're right, Margaret. I'm pretty good with accents but there were times when I had to guess at the odd phrase. Maybe he can't speak so well when he's sober. ;)

I thought the use of subtitles, after so many complaints from the Sassenachs, was a touch of comic genius.

Besides that it was okay-ish, but didn't produce many belly laughs from me, which it used to.

I don't think there were any subtitles, don't like them any way,
by the time you've read them, the scene has changed.

How about forcing the TV broadcasters into every thing has to be dubbed in a Lanky accent.

The subtitles weren't used all the way through, just for one particular conversation.

Brilliant idea. Imagine the Lone Ranger, at the end, when someone says,
"Ony road, 'oo were yon mon in t'mask?", and re-runs of Brief Encounter when Trevor Howard says to Celia Johnson,
"Tha're gunna miss thi train, love".

Maybe they could even apply it to Coronation St. instead of the Yorkshire accents so many of the Weatherfield inhabitants have. :p

Can't agree on that one West Ender .. the cast may not all do the Mancunian accent (Julie Hesmondhalgh, Vicky Entwistle .. Accy born .. no Manchester there), but can't spot a 'Yarkshire' accent on there as yet.

Bev Callard has a very strong Yorkshire accent.

Jack P. Shepherd who plays David Platt and Katherine Kelly who plays Becky Grainger both have strong Yorkshire accents too. :D
