Even now, as countless new forms of entertainment arise, food shows still have massive followings. This begs the question: why are these shows so popular?

some of the characters speak exclusively in the local dialect (the case of Joseph), other use it only to a certain extent and in certain situations (Mr Earnshaw, Hindley, Nelly), while there are other characters whose speech develops from a West Yorkshire dialect to Standard English when their social status changes (the case of Heathcliff and Hareton).

The wall was built, facing west, across a trench which had been dug into the vitrified rampart during earlier excavations. The construction of the Rahoy wall was hampered by a lack of suitable timber and was considerably…
