Attention Australians! News Posted by John Hoare on 7th December 2005, 23:02 So, enjoying the VII DVD, then? Or have you returned it and written a strong letter of complaint to the BBC about racial stereotyping?
Enjoying the DVD very muchly. By the way, that was the worst Australian accent imitation I’ve ever heard. Well, second-worst: it’s just after that one-legged woman in the flashback on “Lost”.
Did anyone ever consider that it was *meant* to be bad, hmm? I mean, nowhere did we actually say that the guy calling the office was actually an Aussie…
“Just as all seemed lost, the office recieved a call from an Australian investor.” Have you seen the film, Seb?
Yes, but he’s not an investor, either, is he? The narration just says what GNP *think* is happening. And if it said “The office received a call from some lunatic with a bad Australian accent, pretending to be an investor”, it would kind of ruin the gag :-p
Also, he’s an Australian with Lancashire ancestry. He’s bound to have a spazzy accent. Also, he’s played by me and I could be out acted by a Victoria Sponge.
