As far as Americans are concerned, there are only 2 British accents:
Villain or wise mentor: Queen's English
Henchman or comic relief: Cockney
I would really like to see a movie about a team up between detectives with Yorkshire, Brummie and Scouse accents; working cross regionally to bring down a gang of criminals. Hardcoded subtitles for the Americans please.
Michael Cain would like to have a word about the Cockney accent typecasting.
He gets a pass cause he can make cockney sound refined

In Flushed Away, is Rita's accent Cockney? It's certainly not Coruscanti
