I don’t believe that a private owner would freely choose to commission from as diverse a range of independents.

Why’s is it that the BBC’s voice over announcements are Southern Irish? Given the wide range of diversity of language in the 4 nations it seems a bit lacking in imagination. by the way love Irish accents but don’t get it.
