Darn, you beat me to it. I was just going to post the same thing. How far did you get? Halfway through the first disc he begins to find his stride. By the end of it, he's at least reading Jack's lines like Jack. But really, he knows these characters, knows the actors who portray them. I'm halfway through disc two and he has yet to try with the other characters. Although he is now putting a bit of appropriate emotion into the scenes. I was disappointed that he ran across a Scottish character and didn't do it in the Scots.

More, I'm aghast at some of the abridgment. Three or four times a car-ride (listening in 15-minute chunks on my drive to/from work), I'm going "You can't cut that out! It's needed for the plot later." And of course I'm completely indignant that they gutted the two best Jack/Ianto flirtage scenes.

And randomly, he still pronounces 'zebra' like a Brit. Made me giggle.
