>>Except, of course, for Hugh Laurie who is so good at it that I wouldn't be surprised to learn many people in the U.S. think he's an American. I imagine a lot of people would go into shock if they saw him in Blackadder.

I liked him in III, where he talked an equal amount of piffle. It was amusing how Blackadder always referred to how fat George IV (then George II's regent son) when Laurie so obviously is not.

BTW, it was he who built the Brighton Pavilion palace I showed you, the architecture was named "Regency" after him. EVen my local pub is called "The Round Georges" with portraits of him and his fat father on the pub sign.
