(Incomplete broadcast)
www.bbc.co.uk/...
In the final episode of a 17-part series, Cornish born and bred actor Stacey Guthrie explores dialect and dialect poetry across Cornwall.
Stacey meets various poets from different parts of Cornwall and hears how the dialect differs between east and west and whether you're near the coast or inland.
During the programme we find out how Cornwall's links with the sea, fishing and other industries like tin mining, have influenced the way people speak. We also hear how the Cornish language has seeped into English language dialect in the duchy.
Stacey meets various bards and poets along the way, including Pol Hodges, Will Coleman, Bert Biscoe, Mick Paynter, Meg Chapman and Moe Keast.
