I don't think Norman Wison did. He just sounds his normal stage voice. Watched the escaped lion episode last night.

I think he purveyed the same accent that we witnessed in all of his films but stopped short of uttering the immortal " Mr Grimsdale!!!"

I think that the Yorkshire accent was somewhat frowned upon by some people from further south because it was very 'working class'. It might be a bit of fun to put some Yorkshire phrases on here with their equivalent English meaning.
'Ee by gum yo lot, thars in for a reet treat'.
'I say there you people, you are in for a good time'.
Your turn Yorkies, show us wot tha can do.

I've told this one before (should that be afore Peri ?)
I sat on a bench in York outside some shops waiting for my family to come back. A group of Yorkshire lads came by who's talk was being peppered with Thee's Tha's and Tha Knows .. as they split up they proved they must have been fans of Eastenders. They parted with a chorus of "see you lay ahh!
I had Derbyshire relatives as well as Yorkshire ones. The occasional "ew sez" (she/he says)threw me at first !
