See the comments by dialect coach Andrew Jack on the rationale used in the accents in
The Lord of the Rings film at
http://www.andrewjack.com/lord-of-th...-rationale.htm .
They generally used a Gloucestershire accent, giving to Sam a rural form of the accent and to Frodo and Bilbo one closer to RP. Merry’s accent was between the two. Pippin was given a Scottish accent because it was found that having the actor Billy Boyd do a laid-back Gloucestershire accent just didn’t work for him so they rationalized his natural Scottish accent as a Tookland accent.
What four accents did you hear?
