Keri, someone has just posted a link in the Bull to a Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú News item in which the reporter refers to the theme tune of TA as 'Barrick Green'. I've always pronounced it, and heard it pronounced, 'Bar-wick'. However, as it is apparently a real village in Yorkshire, the pronunciation 'Barrick' makes sense.
Here's the post with the link: F2693943?thread=5610990&skip=0&show=20#p65351162
Would be interested to know for sure.
thanks in advance.

"We've always said Bar-wick, but have recently learned from a relative (daughter?) of the composer that he called it Barrick."

Thanks, Rosie. That thread was when I was offline, so thanks for directing me to it.

Dunno, do you pronounce Warwick as War wick, or worrick?
Compare and contrast: Berwick and Lerwick

I'm not sure where these examples are getting us, in English the way a word is spelled does not necessarily give a clue to its pronunciation. As Bernard Shaw pointed out 'fish' could just as easily be spelled 'ghoti'.
I've always said Bar-wick and shall continue to do so.
I'd like to know why they have the different version of the theme tune on a Sunday? We all know its the omnibus. Still think it would be nice to have an intro..
>Do you pronounce Warwick as War wick, or worrick?
Both. The first is the singer, the second the county.

Perhaps it should be Boick, as Warwick in CSI is always pronounced Woick?
Tee-hee, Keri.
Reggie, I think those were jokes...
