I don't think that means those people are hypersensitive humourless pedants.

I caught only the beginning, but I predicted a minor Mudcat outrage before switching off. Thing is, was this depiction of a Mummer's Play any less Traditional than any other Mummers Play depicted as part of the humourless pedantry that is the Folk Revival and which Lark Rise has come to resemble in all its sepia tinted prissyness? It's all bogus so why worry?
