Phil Glenister's normal accent just sounds like a working class Northerner trying to sound posh, y/y???

This post is brought to you by watching TV (specifically Dave) for the first time in six months.

He sounds like the London suburbs to me unless my ear is badly out of tune which is more than possible.

Nope. London all the way.

When he was playing Gene he'd inject some Gene staccato and lilt into his speech and that would be confusing.

John Simm on the other hand...

Funny you should say that - on a rare foray into TV I watched the first part of BBC "The Secret Life of the National Grid", and was surprised at the credits to see that Philip Glenister was the narrator. Not that it sounded hugely posh, but posher than I would have expected.
