Analyzing a documentary

'A Very British Romance' with Lucy Worsley 

"In our modern world, there's an idea that fills our dreams and desires. Something  we've all searched for: Romantic love"

The opening sentence of the documentary 'A very British romance' gives a sense of authority to the speaker Lucy Worsely as it shows the public that she knows what she is talking about. Using 'our' she is able to relate to the public as its quite informal and shows that this relates to everyone's history, this also allows the narrator to not intimidate viewers by how formal the BBC are.  Also alliteration is used by the narrator 'dreams' and 'desires' to link to love and is used as a hint what the documentary is based on. The narrator draws the public in by relating to them and making them apart of the documentary, she does this by saying 'we've' this engages them to watch more.
