All our Yesterdays - accents?


Lol, wow, and I thought Dick Van Dyke's Cockney was shit?

I heard a weird, convoluted hybrid of Yorkshire, Scottish, posh English, American, Cornish?

What kind of accents were they actually speaking?

Well, they are on an alien world, and the Universal Translator is approximating as best it can … hey, that's all I've got. :)

I think as far as the Salem Witch Trial era characters go I think that the actors were just allowed to free style it. The show was cancelled and Freiberger and others only cared about finishing the season on time and under budget. I actually liked the court official played by Johnny Haymer who also appeared on MASH. Took me years to make the connection which is a compliment to Haymer as he had some depth as an actor.
