Sir Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey & Ralph Fiennes Talk Accents | The Graham Norton Show 

Reminds me of Ewan McGregor's voice.

It really is. I loved his show for the smae reason. Too bad I cut cable and don't have BBC anymore.

You mean he who shall not be mentioned

DON'T SAY HIS NAME!

Aaaah yeah. My good friend Tom. Lol

Professor X, Voldy and some ladies.

Viking heritage, after all , England has been "Danish" for about 400 years I believe.

I grew up in East Yorkshire and we sometimes said "Are you larking?" or refer to larking about meaning playing. I wonder if it comes from the same root. I'm guessing it does.

Also ta sounds very much like tak, the Danish word for thanks or thank you.

Yep, toy brand LEGO is short for the Danish expression 'leg godt', which means 'play well'.

@@albertsnijders7566 Definitely not. The Alfred the Great’s children and grandson basically conquered what was “the Danelaw” and unified England when Athelstan took Northumbria, which was as early as 927AD.

😂

Well Old English was incredibly similar to Old Norse…before it was ruined by the Normans. 😂

@SunnyDaze-uq8ed “Enriched”, sure.

Ah, I found it. It's "Received Pronunciation" in case anyone is interested. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_Pronunciation

Some people do. And sometimes it's spelled Rafe. Other times ordinary Wreck It Ralph. It's a class thing. He's very posh.

Thank you 😊

I think it's just some old fashioned pronunciaton.

@@currykingwurst6393 No, it’s not old-fashioned. It may be traditional, but it’s still used, especially by the better-off. It’s a class thing, as stated above.

It's pretentious nonsense! They hate 'Ralph' because they think it sounds common!

yeah we use it in scandinavia

Layton Williams😌

@@IndomitableT You're a pal!

Who cares

Does someone else other than Bella have big arms?

I’m not, cause I’m not wasting my life and time watching people talking about accents, when our planet’s climate is being destroyed at unprecedented speed. What a selfish thing, be selfless instead and save the world.

​@@ncard00Bet you're fun at parties too!

Hey Gamer, I adore 🥰 grahams show forever,the energy,the laughs,the way the peeps on the sofa luv being on his show. But,I feel something something is missing lately. 😢

​@@DesL488hahaha

I am because I love the show but the BBC is now unavailable in México due to contract issues with our cable providers. Such a pity because I also miss the great drama series they produce. 2:56

They test behind the scenes before taping. (Stephen Colbert just recently tested positive, and had to broadcast from home, for example.) The pandemic is most certainly not over.

@@DonoVideoProductions For the most part. Yes it is.

@@CalebJacobs459 Over 16000 hospitalizations in the US last week alone. Over 65,000,000 worldwide suffering from long COVID. No, it's not over by a long shot, regardless of how much denial the media and political groups want to indulge in.

​@@DonoVideoProductions Shut up. Not my point.

That depends on what you exactly mean by that expression. The WHO has officially downgraded Covid-19 from pandemic to endemic last May, so in the literal sense you are right, however Covid-19 is far from over, hence the word endemic. It is not gone at all unfortunately, and needs to be actively monitored for the long run by the various governments across the world, because the virus will not die out anytime soon, and we still lack a long term vaccine, so the numbers of people becoming infected will be most likely stable, predictable, and therefore manageable. I hope this helps.😌

@chilidrummer. Beckham and Statham just have run of the mill London accents even though Statham was born in Derbyshire. Nothing major about that. Not even Cockney

Wasn't he speaking specifically of drama school?

@@dhgemein2 all the same. I doubt it was as progressive as he claims, but fair play if it was. I grew up in relative shame, about many things. IN any case, even media giants like netflix are prioritising (not excluding tho) people who speak the queen's English like Huddleston, fiennes and Cumberbatch. This is the reality. Girls,? Emily blunt, Judi dench, Keira knightly

Yeah they were 100% told to get rid of any regional accents 40 years ago in a posh drama school LBFFR

Wasn’t Thatcher herself demeaned in government due to her gender, education and class though? I’m pretty sure the ‘old boys’ said things about the fact that she was a “grocer’s daughter” and even demeaned her “grammar school education”. The gall of those people…’odious’ is an apt enough word to describe that set in UK politics.

a human being. what the hell's your problem?

​@@arixtrbl6calm down

You need to check yourself, that’s a human being and their name is Layton Williams. Literally what is your problem

Lleyton Orient

@@zotter1235 check myself? Lol I checked, and it's still a weirdo freak.

Have you never seen a man wearing makeup before? You must be very sheltered.

Not sure what that is, but it's definitely not human.

Cry about it
