Torchwood

[mandragora]

To any non-Brits on my friendslist. See now, that's what Welsh accents sound like.

Which is why most of us keep on saying that Peter Wingfield (Highlander) doesn't have a Welsh accent. Hey, he's worked really hard to lose his, poor bloke, and anyone who insists he has a Welsh accent are dissing all that work he's done to sound generic upper middle-class English.

And, yes, I really enjoyed Torchwood. Almost (almost) makes up for the postponement of SGA's The Return II.

He sounds about as Welsh as I do. *rolls eyes back*

And, yes, massive, massive squee!

Huh. Will people ever stop insisting he sounds Welsh? I never even thought he sounded Welsh before I knew what Welsh sounded like. ;)

But the difference is *so* obvious. Especially if you're in a room with PW and he purposely puts on the Welsh for a few sentences, and even he admits when he does that that he no longer sounds as Welsh as his Mum.

Torchwood. Hmmm. I've been avoiding doing the download thing mostly due to lack of computer hard drive space but I think I might have to bend and check this out once you know who has it up and ready.

I agree the difference is obvious. Which just goes to show that people are perfectly capable of hearing what they want to hear, rather than the actual sounds.

Torchwood is definitely worth the bother IMO. I've seen a couple of posts from people who weren't that keen. And a massive majority from people who adored it/ *g*
