Our Friend in Bristol: Lynn Barlow
You will have spotted the rise in Bristol voices entertaining us on TV – Stephen Merchant’s The Outlaws, Daisy May Cooper in Rain Dogs and, airing this month, Ruby Speaking, co-created by and starring Jayde Adams.
They share more than just the vernacular and location. All three series are warmly wrapped in empathy for their characters’ less-than-straightforward lifestyles and draw strongly on the colourful and complicated city itself.
