Where do they come from?
« on: January 30, 2016, 10:47:14 AM »
What accents do they have?  What's your take on it? Is Beau a Londoner, Scouse, Manc, Brummy, Scott, Welsh, Irish?  Myself, I always pictured Dennis as a Brummie.

They're all Scottish. Except Escargot - with a name like that, he could only be from Nottinghamshire.
I apologise, in advance.

When the doomed animation pilot was filmed, the actor playing Beau was from Derbyshire, if that's any help.

Is that why the animation was never completed? The animator was a doomed pilot? Did he crash his plane? Why were they filming him?

Roger, did you ever get to see any of the initial animation stuff - storyboards etc.?

Sadly, no. I pretty much did the script and we went to a studio in London to record the actors doing it but it all went belly-up after that. A shame.

Really!  What a sickener that must have been.

Actually, somewhere I have a tape of the recording. The actors were the late Colin Tarrant and Graham Turner who did a great job. I must try and find it some day.
