So you want all dramas played by actors using your favourite accent?

Not 'entertainment'. News and so on. Informational programs should not
be hosted by people who obviously lack the ability to speak
grammatically correct english in a clear voice.If their information on
grammar is patently incorrect, what does that say for their information
on anything else?


'Grammatically correct English' can be spoken in any accent. Having your
preferred southern English one doesn't guarantee good English. Often quite
the reverse. And the quality of the voice is yet something else which
isn't a part of intelligence or education.
