I was delighted to hear, on the BBC series "The Queen's Cavalry" that quite
a few of the officers of this elite Guards unitnow speak with regional
accents. In the past they were invariably plummy Home Counties types and
even earlier put on studied lisps.

In the past I think the norm would have been to get an actor with a
strong accent to neutralise it a bit unless they were playing some
decidedly provincial part.
