Accusations of Mumbling

One particular actor, Ryan, has come under fire for his mumbling, with viewers highlighting that this issue is not unique to Sherwood but has been observed in other BBC productions as well. The combination of strong accents and unclear speech has left some audience members struggling to comprehend the dialogue.
