I really liked old Gert  She's the typical working class Manc woman.
Whereas Anthony LaPagia's accent for Simon was criticised for being cockney and not Mancunian, Daphne's accent herself was not that of a someone who grew up in Manchester. |
But at least it wasn't blatantly non-mancunian, Simon's was utter wank.
Also when Niles and Daphne got engaged/going out, I thought it the quality dipped slightly.
