I like to think I'm quite good with voices, but listening in the car
yesterday it ocurred to me that if you were setting out to find three
BRPVs as similar as possible you couldn't do much better than Jim
Lloyd, Oliver Stirling and James Bellamy or whatever Lilian's
excrescence is called. (Pls note I'm referring to the blandness and
similarity of these voices, not saying that RP is blander than a
regional accent or that it's unlikely that these characters would have
that accent.)

I agree, and would add Adam and Alistair to the list. It took me ages
(last nigth or Friday, can't remember), when they were talking about
cricket, to work out who it was, I couldn't recognise him directly from
his voice (and I've actually forgotten now who it was I thought it was, so
to speak).

Adam went to Sherborne School, so of course he speaks RP. But Kenton (AFAIK)
didn't, yet I keep getting the two mixed up voice-wise.
