I am used to television Brit accents

Real life: it ain't Downton Abbey.

Downton Abbey was base on a specific time frame. Accents have changed.

I watch a lot of shows that show a variety of areas of Britain. As I said, I primarily watch Acorn TV or brit shows on Prime.

Right now watching Doc Martin set in small town

That’s not Downton Abbey

Watching the Crown on Netflix now

History of Queen Elizabeth from childhood through now the 1960’s

Last night in episode 3 or 4 it was all about a coup to take out the then prime minister.

Complete with pompous bureaucrats, a complicit media, leading the way...

You would have thought it was todays hearings.....

All in all an entertaining series, showing the warts of the Royalty, and some humor along the way.

Great portrayal of Churchill by John Lithgow...

highly recommend if you like that stuff.
