They've gotten most of the actual *sounds* right - assuming that all Texans sound like Foghorn Leghorn - but the pacing & pitch are completely off. In a veddy veddy British way.
*twitch*
Since there's so little difference between generic upperclass Brit and genteel southern - Peter Davison wouldn't have to work hard to sound like he came from Georgia, for example - maybe what's really bugging is the attempt to sound like a cowboy.
But I did have to give up on Land of the Dead. That was truely making me itch.
And yes - you must get more. I shall continue to pimp Storm Warning, Neverland, Zagreus, and Scherzo as a mini-season. And I just listened to the first "season" of the Sarah Jane Smiths with great enjoyment. They ended on a cliffhanger, drat them, so the new set will also need to be ordered at some point after I've paid for assorted plane tickets.
