Voice Over Regionalists

[GhostOfDixie]

Anyone noticed that Television voice over people, the one's who talk between shows and tell you what's up next. Well anyway they always seem to be either:

Geordies - because of Big Brother
Bolton people - due to Peter Kay and Vernon Kay.

Why not have a scouser or a cockney talk about what's coming up next? It's Regionalist.

Where can I protest???

Nah, Sky One and Two etc...

Just wondering if because of the popularity of Bolton heads these days, its seen as a marketing ploy.

Tell me, how many scousers do you hear on the telly doing voice overs?

by the look of it he got the birds eye gig as well.
