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

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...

It's not sounding very convincing at the moment - he's doing adverst and it's sounding slightly more dodgy. I can't place the London accent at all and, as I've said to Drayce, it sounds more like Northerner who's trying too hard. Which, as I know he was (I think) born within the M25, is slightly odd...

John is ... definitely different...

I'm with Drayce --- he's been doing Gene's voice for so long, it's slipping into his real accent. He might have been asked to make it sounds more Gene-like.

It's okay... I'm also reeling stunned from the idea of Jack Davenport having an "American accent" in an American Drama. I think I'm going to retire from British for this.
