i read it as norrell (if, again, you get me)

Having known someone with that name , I would say your way is right pirate
I agree with you both. 
How did they pronounce it - one of the actors was on the radio today and I'm sure it said it to rhyme with 'coral' I've recorded the programme - how was it?
Was it as bad as the trailers made it look but?
I wasn't having any of it and we recorded it so a keen Mrs Jer could watch it while I was at Wem-ber-lee or summat.
We watched Steve Coogan's Alpha Papa on catch up.

First episode is introducing the characters so the story doesn't really start until towards the end.
It's as if Neil Gaiman, Charles Dickens and Jane Austen collaborated on creating an alternative Victorian England where magic exists but no longer practised other than by a tiny minority, and is partially influenced by Amadeus (Mr Norrell is a bit like Saltieri).

That's how they pronounced it in the programme.

Lovely description El Loro!! I noted that it was pick of the day in t'Grauniad and pick of the week in mum's S.Times. Much as though I enjoyed Mozart v Saltieri I'm prepared to cross the street to avoid this one. Life is to short and if word of mouth dictates it then one can get the boxset and binge watch next summer! Not sure why my reply jumped here.
Bugger! I was out the back taking a 'phone call from the 'Boro, came in and caught Mrs Jer watching it between two episodes of the Street. Interesting York accents like.
