Much as I love him, Ioan does a horrible USA accent. It makes me want to rip my ears off. Jamie does a much better one. (No surprise, his dad is from the US I think.)

Hugh L does a good one, and Dominic West does too.

I have had to get a second opinion on the supposed nationality of some characters in films because they've missed the accent by half a planet.

Geography gaffs are another of my pet peeves - if you are going to write about a country you don't know then use a map! If you head north from London you don't get to Cornwall unless your navigation skills are so bad they should be in the Guinness Book of Records.
