Last week, I was one of the few people to notice that a remake of Wuthering Heights had been released in cinemas. The film is the second collaboration between director Emerald Fennell and actor Jacob Elordi — and apparently the whole thing came about when Fennell noticed her leading man’s excellent sideburns on the set of their first outing together, Saltburn, and thought he’d make a great Heathcliffe.

What I thought when I saw that film, however, was ‘doesn’t Jacob Elordi have a surprisingly good public school accent?’ The actor, originally from Brisbane in Australia which is actually nowhere near Sussex, hit a particularly good mid-noughties-Marlborough“mate” throughout. As in, “yes mate”. Or “pub, mate?” Or “what are you doing with that plughole, mate?”

Which got me thinking. What are the other truly great public school accents pulled off by non-English actors — and thus (and listen, you said it, not me) non-public-school-educated actors, of which there must be at least six? It’s not a fashionable question, I know.
