Know what you mean Teribus - I was never a great fan of the album. But the TV show about it at the time with Carthy and a hangman, was quite entertaining.

I see what you mean about the English accent. perhaps you should go for realism rather than naturalism.

All the working class people perhaps sounding Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins. All the posh people like the bloke with a top hat in the wacky races.

After all its a comedy of manners. It requires a degree of politeness to stand there and let someone try and hang you, three times.
