At least it made a nice change!! Many of these episodes have the minor characters sound like stereotypes and clichés straight from Hollywood central casting. On occasion, a few came close to crossing into Dick Van Dyke territory. Either that or they were just bad actors.
Very weird acting -- the Welsh guy seems not to be able to read his lines without prompting, and the Inspector (sorry, Superintendent) seems to be falling asleep.
The inspector seems to be eternally exhausted as if spouting his lines from a chaise longue brandishing a cigarette holder. However the lack of interest may be due to the fact that he was more and more ashamed of the rubbish script!
All right, I’m back, I haven’t enjoyed these wonderful dramas for a few days. Thanks!
The most appauling attempt at a welsh accent EVER. More like Mumbai with a touch of Glasgow and a dash of Newcastle.

It's all part of the charm! Sort of.
Welsh? More like Pakistani. The copper is just rude.
Christ. 30 minutes of my life I’ll never get back

It was just the way many of them spoke in those days.
Curious how the Welsh college porter had a strong Indian accent. I guess he must have been an early migrant from India?
That is a Welsh accent, I think.
The spoken credits at the end include one Gwillen Williams (not sure of the spelling) which sounds like a Welsh name.
@@katehobbs2008 It did seem to constantly waver back and forth between nationalities so much, it was impossible to confirm either way.
A very boring little story. With a really annoying whistling hissing background noise.
