Good point; what amazes me is that popular British film & television actor Hugh Laurie has managed to pull this off as the featured star in the American hit medical series House. His accent is indiscernable; fooled me completely!

  He's perfect as Bertie in the "Jeeves & Wooster" series. And well matched by Stephen Fry's Jeeves. Got the complete DVD set awhile ago and have enjoyed it several times already.
