    Yep, I haven't bothered to watch any of his more adventurous ones but I can imagine how British he would be with the natives along the Amazon.

    How is Graham Norton going to be able to interview Dornan and Blunt about this and keep a straight face?!

    Jesus I genuinely thought this was a period piece set in the early 1900s until she said she wanted to freeze her eggs.

    There's a guy makes travel documentaries for BBC, can't remember his name, but he usually does wild exotic things like walking the Amazon or along the equator, things like that. A few years ago he did one in Ireland, and I swear, he was genuinely shocked that we weren't all inbred, backward, god fearing bog snorkelers. Just goes to show how that idea still prevails.

    He must have missed out on Kilgarvan.

    "Ridey Men" Dornan and Hamm certainly are :p

    Ha, from that article;
    And the The National Leprechaun Museum of Ireland tweeted: "Even we think this is a bit much #WildMountainThyme".

    "Is an Irish accent the hardest to master?" Betteridges rule of headlines in action there. That's a charitable interpretation of the issue; more accurate to say studios / actors are too cheap to hire good dialect coaches if they insist upon non-nationals in their cast... the accent doesn't even need to be perfect, just passable.

    Sometimes I think we don't realise how the accents in the irish countryside really sound. Take for example these boys in the Dail , whom if anyone from outside the island was watching might think some these guys slept in the fields.

    Im pretty sure I've heard Irish people living in Ireland with far worse accents then those in that trailer!

    No one outside of Dublin wants to hear a Dub accent especially Americans who have no concept of it whatsoever. So the North Munster type accent is what the Americans most associate with Ireland. These accents they use are kinda Midlands but without the flatness and kinda somewhere south..nobody knows where...

    It doesn't have to be an insult. Just not his cup of tea, which is fine: it takes all types...

    I am looking forward to sitting down with a glass of wine and ...watching Jamie ..enjoying a good laugh at how Americans see us .

    Was his accent in Siege of Jadotville not a bit ropey as well?
    Its a few years since I've seen it but have a feeling it was.
    It wasn't that bad in Jadotville. Pat Quinlan was from Kerry and spoke a bit like that.

    Like likes of Simon Reeves have research teams who go ahead and round up the most ludicrous cliche ridden aspect of wherever he is filming. Worth remembering when you see him somewhere we don't know much or at all.

    Saw this on the Today show earlier, and even Daithí O Sé struggled with it. It’s very much geared towards an “Irish diaspora” in the US audience, same as Normal People and PS I Love You before it... and then some -

    Don't think I'd put Normal People in the same bracket as PS I Love You. It might not have been to everyone's taste but it's hardly the paddywhackery of something like PS I Love You or Leap Year. And Daisy Edgar Jones' Irish accent was really good too.

    Whoever is in charge of distributing it should get it on demand here ASAP. A captive audience with an appetite for a group watch, they'd make a fortune.

    What's Doran thinking for A. that accent of his, B. not telling the cast how stupid their accents are and WTFing the director, and C, basically questioning the whole bloody thing.
    Is he getting enough money to quietly laugh to himself and dialling it in. But that doesn't even make sense given how he'll be received as a result anyway.
    Maybe with him being from the north he's on an Orange Order mission to undermine and laugh at the Republic.

    northern unionists might not have a great ear for southern accents so perhaps Dornan can be forgiven to a degree ?

    I don't think actors should change their accents at all in movies. Just act. The TV show chernobyl was one of the most gripping dramas I have seen, it would have been ruined by everyone trying to do Russian accents.

    Ahh no I meant more the audience it’s produced to appeal to, which isn’t an Irish audience, but rather an Irish American audience. The three main actors involved would know well they’re not even coming close to an approximation of any Irish dialect, but that’s irrelevant for it’s intended audience.

    That's a good point: further to that, IIRC they used regional English accents to accentuate relative Russian status and social class, which was a neat move. Assuming it was deliberate of course.
