| | The Adventures of Portland Bill / int_56549b6d |
comment |
Scotireland: Everyone's accent, with a bit of Welsh mixed in for good measure, although possibly justified as the setting is a fictitious island somewhere in the Irish Sea and populated by people whose ancestors came from all of the above. |
