Twitaceous Era 53: 21st century urchin

This week on my Twitter feed, that accent is apparently called "Multicultural London."

You know the accent Harry Melling does in peddling? What do you reckon actors call that on their Spotlight page?

@Weez I'm basically asking what the Charmian Hoare-approved, non-offensive term for "chavvy accent" is.

@Weez "21st century urchin."

@RhianBWatts excellent, thanks. I think @Weez's "something bland yet cringey" prediction was on the nose then.

@RhianBWatts @Weez also it can totally be an accent, it's surprisingly good for Shakespeare (e.g. Southwark Playhouse Shrew.)

@merrychrissmyth he's 1000 years old, how much money does he need? He must have enough Werther's Originals to get by on by now.

It says Patsy Ferran's playing Portia, but she's clearly playing a young Eileen Atkins http://www.rsc.org.uk/whats-on/the-merchant-of-venice/

Dreamt I was on a New Routemaster with Beverley Knight, who was late for a lunchtime gig in a pub.

So as I understand it, that producer is getting death threats for bruising Clarkson's fist with his face.
