Well this American, who has spent only a couple of months in the U.K., gets
most her BritCom and Masterpiece Theatre, Channel 4 and BBC fixes on this
side of the pond. I was upset when the housemaid in a made-for-T.V.
production of The Secret Garden did not get the Yorkshire accent right. She
sounded as if she were trying to do Cockney. How do I know the Yorkshire
accent. Why from "All Creatures Great and Small," of course!!!
