Title: Half unintelligible
Product review: I watched the beginning of the first episode on PBS and found it annoying in general. Most of the heavy regional and class accents used (for 'atmosphere' I suppose) were only partly intelligible and this added to the fact that it is far from the best work of Dickens caused me to turn it off and go to bed. BBC productions of Dickens don't have to be only partly intelligible to US audiences as the Martin Chuzzlewit and David Copperfield adaptions make clear. It depends upon the actors and the direction I would think. PS I went to university in the UK (two years at Cambridge) so I am not an American unfamiliar with the UK or English speech. Of course at Cambridge most English was the Queen's English which presents no problems to Americans.
