I LOVE this show!!  Unfortunately, though, it's sometimes a bit hard to understand with Tim's accent.  I usually have to watch the episode a couple of times to understand what it was about.

I guess that's what i'll have to do---watch Tim over and over and over again....oh well, if i must!!!!!

 

Painful, isn't it?? LOL!

His accent was especially heavier during scenes with the other Brit. I love the accent, so it didn't bother me much, however, it was difficult for my American ears to understand him in parts! :) Guess I'll just have to re-watch, too. Darn! ;)

What am I supposed to say as I have French ears...;-)

The good thing is that now, thanks to Tim Roth and Hugh Laurie (when not on House), I can make the difference between american and british accent! Thanks Fox shows!

His accent is definitely thick but I've never had a hard time understanding him...  Maybe I just have an ear for accents.  I dunno.

But I love his accent either way XD  And I loved his faked New York accent in Grievous Bodily Harm X3

Cal's accent doesn't bother me at all - it's all the others who talk funny!    Perhaps that's because I'm a Brit!!  ;)      I think it's a credit to the show that he's allowed to keep his British accent rather than being forced to conform with everyone else's.

It's great to have a series where the heroes think their way through the plot - it's rapidly become one of my favourite shows!!

I appreciate the fact that they don't completely Americanize his colloquialisms and terminology just to make it easier to "get."  - thus, we sometimes get "wanker" and "oi," not just "jerk" and "hey."

Ditto, I like hearing Brit accents as it reminds me of home. I enjoyed the part where he puts on an American accent also. :)

It's so sexy I can't stand it xD

 Agreed!  I love his British colloquialisms..

And, I did greatly enjoy his New York accent X3

I am a little bemused that you find his accent hard. I talk this way ( come from the same part of London, met him in a pub once but thats another story!) and I have never had a problem being understood when I've been in the States.

I have noticed though that you seem to have more problem with the men and kids, the kids had to repeat themselves alot. Most of the time I ended up speaking for them which they loved as you can imagine.

We speak faster and I have to admit to becoming quite frustrated speaking to Americans, it takes for bloody ever to finish a sentence sometimes.

The colloqualisms are becoming more transatlantic I think. We use alot of yours thats for sure.  

I am desperately in love with Tim Roth so I'm probably biased but he just wouldn't be the same with an American accent.

I hate Hugh Laurie's American accent, it grates on me. Maybe because in real life he's quite posh, I don't know. He's just better with his original accent and very charming, bless him.

Well thats my two pennies' worth.
