Re: Manchester Evening News Story about Nora & Foggy

I find it odd how many of the cast actually came from outside of Yorkshire

Remember how Roy Clarke was worried right at the beginning because Bill Owen was a Londoner who had frequently played Cockney parts. What was right was that none of them tried to put on an exaggerated Yorkshire accent.

But if Robin Bailey could do it as Uncle Mort anything was possible.

I am probably repeating myself here BIG UNC but your remark about Yorkshire accents raised a few smiles of memory for me. I was seated on a bench in a street in York a few years ago waiting for the family to decamp from a clothes shop opposite, and was listening to people passing by. A group of schoolkids came by chatting , plenty of thees thaas and tha knows , but they spoilt the whole effect by closing with "see you lay-ah!" It showed how pervasive television can be!!
