I haven't caught the UK version yet, just some of the US one, definitely interested now.
The US one's British character, Nigel (of course, "Nigel"; US writers seem to be pathologically incapable of not naming a male British character "Nigel"), has an accent so bad I'm genuinely starting to feel it qualifies as racist. :D
Haha the accents are quite heightened. My benefit of the doubt reason is that it's meant to be old timey so has to be extra. I am not in the US so I still can't believe that Alberta's accent is a real accent.
The show is a really good example of UK vs US humour and styles. Both quite well done so it's nice to see the positive differences. One is a quiet, mind your business deal and the other is a huge celebration of character and emotion.
