Might be a tad expensive for the BBC these days

This ties in with my old argument about how ALL telly drama is set in cities (usually London), and we are only allowed to see the countryside on a Sunday night. Such a shame there's such a lack of imagination.
Generally, people on telly tend to have regional / non RP accents nowadays. It's the reverse of the old tradition of actors with cut-glass RP accents playing unconvincing Cockney.
