Ian Hislop is one of the very few TV personalities I would really love to meet. I even gritted my teeth and watched him being interviewed on the truly awful
One Show so that I could learn a bit more about this programme, which was as good as I hoped.
The very slightest of gripes, and this is TV-wide, is that it would be nice, just once, to hear a proper Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire accent.
Actors have only 3 all-purpose accents - south east (inc Lunnon), oop north, and a general purpose "Mummerset" which does duty for all points from Bristol to Lands End.
This one got the 'oop north' for the ORs and "posh south east" for the officers, but that minor annoyance apart the programme was brilliant. The badges were spot on, by the way.
