Margaret - thanks for the DVD prize - It's the one episode of Top Gear that I missed - the US Road Trip so having it on DVD is awesome (and my FiL is dead envious).

Zoe wasn't bad in <i>Death Proof</i> her accent could strip paint though. It's almost a caricature.

I love Zoe Bell. Been lucky enough to interview her, she's so normal and friendly. But I agree, the accent does grate a little.

I love Zoe Bell. She is my hero!!

That doco on her and the old stunt woman was fantastic...but I do kinda cringe at her acting in Death Proof.

What a lucky girl. Make as Lucy Lawless' stand women and now she's getting her own online serie! :)

Zoe Bell is a fox, no mistaking it. Her role in Death Proof was, I think, meant to be cheesy. The whole film was, it was part of the reason for making it surely. It's funny though the way so many people seem to have this big hang-up with our accent, when they hear it spoken on-screen, as if all the avidly watching American public is going to cringe and be embarrassed for us. What is so bad about our accent anyway? Does this simply imply we'd all rather speak American or British English with typically stagnant and predictable accents? Our accent is a part of who we are. It distinguishes us from other nations and makes us instantly recognisable around the world. I say let's hear more of it. More exposure means more recognition and there's a lot of us that need to stand up and be recognised.

Well said Overlord's, and I do love your accent btw, it sounds much better than American's to me.

I loved Zoe's acting in Death Proof as well as her accent. It's too bad we couldn't see her and Lucy in Angel of Death outside the U.S. (I live in Europe) :-(
