A A Gill on James Nesbitt playing Dr Jekyll, in the Sunday Times

"I suspect the Irish accent has a lot to do with the success of his characterisation. It is a Jekyll-and-Hyde voice. He's blarney and craic and Terry Wogan, but also the voice from behind the balaclava, the code-word warning and sectarian bile."

Wait, what?

I suspect A A Gill's accent is on the one hand hearty Presbyterian housemaster administering a good thrashing to ward away filthiness of mind, and on the other hand smug chinless laird spurning starving crofters with his boot.
