I like the fact that they have someone with a 'regional' accent doing the main commentary. His well-hidden accent sounds a bit like Michael Parkinson's, which is Barnsley and therefore entirely the wrong area of Yorkshire for the film. But the speaker sounds as though he spent most of his Oxford years losing the accent, only to be told by Cholmondley-Warner of the BBC to dredge it up again for the sake of a patronising commentary about tough working class cheps.
