I’ve been binging a lot of Al’s comedies, and this man has a genuine respect for the elder generation and for the Second World War. I have a lot of respect for him because of this.

[@spannerpasser]

Al has a degree in history and is well versed in WW2 history. He has made documentaries on WW2 and attends anniversaries. I saw him at Pegasus Bridge in Normandy at the time of the 65th anniversary. One of his relatives was killed in the retreat to Dunkirk in 1940, his father served in the post war army with many WW2 veterans. Like many his age ( myself included) we grew up on Commando books, Warlord, Victor and Battle comics and black and white 1950s war films like Dunkirk, Colditz Story Ice Cold in Alex, Cruel Sea etc and the colour 1960s & 70s offerings like Where Eagles Dare, Guns of Navarone, Longest Day and Bridge to Far.

i really like this accent, is it from the North ? Newcastle or ? i do prefer english accent than american. I'm studying english, any idea what to watch to assimilate this kinda scottish accent (is it scottish accent ?) Thanks for answers, and sorry my english !

[@lidmc796]

It's not Northern, definitely not haha. You wouldn't be able to understand him otherwise. The accent I can closest relate it to is Cockney, but not quite a London accent. I can't really tell. When you live up north most southerners sound similar. There is so many accents in this country It's hard to pinpoint where someone is from. You can drive 10 minutes down the road and not understand a fucking word someone is saying, it's like another language.
