@PercivalBlakeney He is a homophobic, sexist buffoon.

Don't worry about your standard of English. Most British people have neither the vocabulary nor the intellect to "keep pace" with the "living treasure" Sewell.

Keep practicing, you WILL get there eventually.

"Non propheta sine honorem est nisi in Patria sua" Copy & paste into a search engine... you'll understand.

I wish my standard of English is up there with Mr Sewell :(

I find this man really hard to understand, obviously there is nothing inherently wrong with speaking with a strong regional accent, but you'd think that the people making the TV show would ask him to tone it down a bit and speak clearly, is he eating, because it sounds like he has got something in his mouth.

Brian Sewall is a National Treasure - He used to Work for Christie's and when Eric Hebborn brought in his "John's" (HIS copies of the works of Augustus John's Drawings ) Brian apparently said :

"These "John's" are so bad ...............you could have done them yourself "

Did Brian Know something ..............................­.....?

Wonderful !
