With Ben Bailey Smith

Actor and writer Ben Bailey Smith has worked on numerous film sets and rarely hears a working class accent unless it's an upper class actor attempting the Cockney dialect or if it's an electrician working behind the scenes. He asks writer Danny Leigh just just how much the class system plays its part in the British film industry.
