Interesting case, pretty sure that’s a Geordie accent the actor is using rather than a Hartlepool one though!
Exit pedant mode….
He'll not want to be blamed for hanging the Monkey that's why !Exit pedant mode….

Looking forward to it too, its a strange story, and can't believe its 20 years ago.
I’ve googled that because was a bit shocked - he turned up in 2007. Still 15 years ago! MiL is recording this for me to watch as thought it looked like it would be interesting. Strangely enough other half has just bought and collected a canoe tonight…

I suppose for the rest of the country anything north of Hull is “geordie land”…….
I'm a Geordie and have lived in Leeds for 20 years.
It boils my piss when an obvious Macum or Smoggie is called a Geordie down here, the accent is so different.
It's the same for every local accent in the country though.
I can almost tell which village people in the North East come from!

is this a remake i'm sure there was a drama done already.
Yes, it is a remake. The BBC did one previously called "Canoe Man" back in 2010https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rs2kc#:~:text=...

Whatever the accuracy of the accent is I'm looking forward to seeing Eddie Marsan in the role. He's done some Mike Leigh stuff which is normally a sign of a good actor.
He is very good. He played the part of Dr Guttman (sp?) in a drama about the Jewish doctor who set up the Stoke Mandeville spinal injuries unit. He was also in The Limehouse Golem, although in a small part, and he was convincing in that role.Gretchen said:

I used to work with one of Darwin's sons and daughters-in-law.
I wish people would reflect on the fact that this isn't some soap opera or ancient history. This is a story about a family who have experienced a great deal of pain and sorrow. People know the story; it really doesn't need laying bare all over again 🙄
