Hugh Laurie lager advert, 1980s

Before House, before Stuart Little, before that small part in The Borrowers, before (air quotes) A Bit Of Fry & Laurie (/air quotes), before The Gun Seller (which everyone really should read - it's ace), possibly even before The Crystal Cube, the excellent Hugh Laurie cropped up in this early 80's (we think) advert for Kestrel Lager. Doing Generic Nerd Voice 47, for some reason. Possibly that's why we never see Kestrel Lager on sale anywhere these days.

Cockney accent? on Hugh? madness

[Shindai]

lol cute

[rdgloveshouse]

well, yeah, that's what I said. there are different accents in America (a lot) but not as many as there are in Britain. The UK is a lot more diverse. I mean, you can drive for like ten minutes in London (for example) and get a totally different accent

[sopralto817]

Well, there are, it's just subtle differences. Different counties in the South/North.

[rdgloveshouse]

not really, i live there and yes a Texan accent is way different then a New Yorkers but there are not as many varieties as in Britain, take it from someone whos lived in both cpontries
