As far as Americans are concerned, there are only 2 British accents:

Villain or wise mentor: Queen's English

Henchman or comic relief: Cockney

I would really like to see a movie about a team up between detectives with Yorkshire, Brummie and Scouse accents; working cross regionally to bring down a gang of criminals. Hardcoded subtitles for the Americans please.

Michael Cain would like to have a word about the Cockney accent typecasting.

He gets a pass cause he can make cockney sound refined

Hey now, I've watched enough Simon Roper to know that's not true.

In Flushed Away, is Rita's accent Cockney? It's certainly not Coruscanti
