That is the first thing I noticed tonight was that his accent wasn't half as Geordie as it was in the later years, you rumbled him and he didn't like it.This has reminded me that Marcus Bentley blocked me on Twitter. The only reason I can of is that I once tweeted about how much his narration had changed over the years and how he completely exaggerated his Geordie accent in the later series, and sounded like someone doing an impression of Marcus Bentley. I didn’t even tag him in the tweet but presumably he searches for tweets featuring his name and he was obviously offended by my tweet and blocked me.
Well listen to him now. I was bleeping right! I’ve thought he was an egotistical twit ever since.
