He is from Carlisle.They dubbed over his voice though,no idea why!
It's not dubbed in Geordie. My guess is further south than Sunderland. Maybe Hartlepool or Smoggy - possibly even Darlington which all sound very similar to Carlisle to most people.
Yesterday I was listening to a play on Radio 4 which was supposedly set in Ferryhill but it had Alun Armstrong and Gina McKee as lead characters and the accents were all over the place. I suppose they are so used to playing Geordie characters and they have to be understood by the listeners.
I'd like to put the continuity people from the ITV drama Vera into room 101. It is beautifully filmed but complete rubbish. One moment they are in the wilds of Northumberland, next minute they are walking in North Blyth carrying takeaway coffee!! Talk about unbelievable! And don't start me on the accents!!
