Inspector George Gently

[EcosseMackem]

Great show - but why the fuck don't they use actors from the North-East

Warren Clarke is making an absolute Mike Hunt of the accent

[The Lambton Worm]

They do. There's a lad I know in this episode. His accent is shite though.

I had a few lines in an episode to be aired in August (I was in this episode tonight being caressed by the blonde bird) and I was asked to a Geordie accent- can't do one to save my life but crew thought it was fine. They do use some local actors to be fair.

An episode of the new series was filmed in Horden

Lad who plays the desk sergeant is from the North East.

I don't watch the show but has Neil Morrisey been in this series yet? Just he was in Durham a few weeks back supposedly filming for that show, playing a top of the pops host.

Sounds about right, really nice guy.

There aren't many Yorkshire accents in Emmerdale if that helps.
