Just watching Bob Hoskins on Jonathan Ross ?

Is his accent for real ? Seem to recall some very old footage of him at an actors wokrshop sounding very posh. Maybe that accent was invented.

My dad sold a car to him years ago and I seem to recall the Cockney accent then.

There's just something about it that doesn't sound quite right.

Anyway the worst "Mockney" ?

Gotta be Nigel Kennedy, closely followed by Guy Ritchie.

Actually, Bowie is a massive Mockney.

Compare his accent in the 60 and 70s to now.

He talks like Pete Beale, I imagine he calls his wife "treacle" in polite celebrity company.

Definitely Jamie Oliver.

Darren Day as well if my memory serves me.

I really hate Darren Day. I remember seeing him on I'm A Celebrity, and he was telling Nigel Benn they would get on as they were both street people.

Nigel Benn- from Forest Gate I think, or some ghetto bit of East London.

Darren Day-one of the papers found out his dad was a policeman and he lived in a smart area in a detached house.

That's right Darren- you're from the street. Sesame Street.:rolleyes:
