Does her enunciation approximate to Aow d’ya wuhk i’? H is not pronounced in how and there is a strong glottal stop after i in it. Right?

The film will only play by going to You Tube which starts it at the beginning.

The actress has a very strong working class East London / Thames Estuary accent which I sometimes had difficulty following despite being brought up just 8km from her birth place.

I didn't hear the piece you refer to but in that accent the aitch would normally be dropped and glottal stops would be strong.

The OP wrote the relevant time stamp at the bottom of the post - 51:33. You can just jump to there to listen to it.

Sorry, it appears that it was YouTube that restricted something due to the age restrictions - as I did the reference , as usually.
 
I hear the "h" but not the "t".
 
No. I was referring to the "h" in "how".
