I am sorry but he is a very odd bird.......
VERY ODD.
In fact his whole life is strange,
Just as his characters that he played.

The accents were okay, but really, *I* can do better English accents than him!

Not kidding...

Is that a challenge?

And by the way, to the people who downed my comment, my best friend is from the U.K. I know perfect accents from above average accents.

actually, for those talking about the sound quality

check out the DVD which includes it, and THERE you will notice the shifts better when going from one to the next

I wish he'd done a Yorkshire one that would have really confused our American friends. I grew up in Lincolnshire and when I moved to Canada I constantly got people asking me if I were from the States because it sounds similar apparently. People really don't know accents outside of their own countries.

"People really don't know accents outside of their own countries. "

Very true. I'm in the US, but I've watched a lot of British TV, and my wife lived in Oxfordshire for a few years, so I've learned some of the differences. My favorite is the Geordie accent.

To your point though, someone on YT was criticizing an American that thought Scouse was Scottish, so I asked the guy if he could tell the difference between an Tennessee accent and and Alabama accent. We're all equally clueless! :-)

For what it's worth - I've always found it necessary to boost the audio about 60% above standard for YouTube. Thus, recordings have to be specially made - or adapted. You can't just upload standard stuff. At least - not if you want it to be HEARD!!!
