The Shire revealed to be Gloucestershire
I was listening to a film review programme on Radio 4 that featured a dialogue coach. Among other things, he revealed that he had been involved with choosing the home accent of hobbits for the films. And the accent chosen was from Gloucestershire, on the grounds that it sounded rural without being too yokel-ish (I am paraphrasing somewhat).
Oh, and if you're not from the UK - the way you just said "Gloucestershire" in your head? It was almost certainly wrong!
