Chris, I was referring to the accent of one of the Orks who had captured
Merry and Pippin. To me it registered as a UK derived accent. I thought
that if Jackson had a sense of humour he might use an Aussie for the
part. My wife thinks it was a Cockney accent. I have no idea. In any
event the film was a polyglot of language in keeping with the spirit of
the book.
