''I think it is a bold plan, sir!''

Haha, reminds me of Yes, Minister. Every time the minister was suggesting something completely foolish, Appleby would tell him that it was a courageous plan.

@IAmCaptainMarvel

How am I a US elitist? How am I a US anything?

Also, I'm not talking about Kevin Costner, I'm talking about Hornblower. But then again, Robin Hood, the actual one, would have spoken an English that would be very hard for any of us to understand, unless we had learned Middle High German.

Three cheers for foreshadowing "hiphip Hooray, hiphip Hooray!"

@IAmCaptainMarvel well, the thing is that American English is actually comparatively close some older forms of English (or at least that spoken in pre-industrial times. This is actually visible in these very movies, where the speakers don't sound all that "British" at all (except for their mannerisms). Modern British English is much more heavily accented.

@MrTriggr actully, in Karl: Le 9 Thermideur, they are also shown to be useful in opening bottles of Champaigne.

I like Mattwes and Styles one of the most memorable characters in the whole series :)

@MrTriggr They should place one in front of the offices of the European Commission. They might get the message .. ;)

@MrMoto

It was the 90's. Back then people were more liberal with the whole "casting French as French, German as German, English as English" thing.

I remember the Robin Hood film that had Kevin Costner, an American playing a legendary English outlaw (before the US would have even been a country). It wouldn't have bothered people if he didn't blatantly disregard any ATTEMPT at an English accent. So I can understand the feeling.

Bloody Frogs......A good frog is a DEAD frog.
