replies: text: Well, both he and Margaret have Scottish accents, so it's pretty safe to assume it. I assume it's set in a fictional suburbia.Bob Castle 18:24, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, likely a fictional suburb. I think in one episode one of them visit's their parents in Scotland... but don't quote me on that. --Revolt 19:28, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Given that Wilson is Scottish by birth, I rather think he does. Nubula 14:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Richard Wilson himself is from Greenock and I've a vague memory of an interviewer remarking that he had a Greenock accent. Autarch 19:33, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

text: It's not relevant what accent Wilson has when not playing roles. When playing Meldrew he did not use a Scottish accent. Jim Michael (talk) 18:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

message: I wonder whether someone's got the wrong end of the stick about the famous catchphrase not being used very often. From series 2 to 5, it turns up in full pretty much once an episode, but at other times within the same episode, it will be teased and cut off early. From what Wikipedia says on the subject, you'd get the impression that it was used a lot less than it actually was. It is rare in series 6 (I think it turns up twice in six episodes) so I wonder whether somebody has generalised from that series to the whole run, or just misunderstood the nature of the previous "rationing". --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 13:08, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
