Simon Russell Beale based his accent for his character, Ferdinand Lyle, on the accent of the renowned playwright Tom Stoppard. Stoppard was born in Czechoslovakia, but while still a young boy, his family fled the Nazis. They went first to India (where he spent three years), where his Czech mother was remarried to a British Army Major, and subsequently Tom was educated in north-central and northeast England. Consequently, Stoppard's adult accent, though mostly standard Received Pronunciation English, is a unique combination of many diverse linguistic and dialectical influences.
