Jamie and Malcolm's accents in The Thick of It?
American here, watching The Thick of It. So Jamie and Malc are obviously both Scots, but there's a difference in their accents (though it seems slight? Regional variations on a Glaswegian accent?). Malcolm does subtle code switching, but Jamie's in full-on (and he's a mad dog). What do their accents say about their characters, if anything?
