How did he not get top billing? I would take elocution lessons if it meant I could speak like him.

Agreed. There's also something about his voice that just calms me. I remember thinking while watching The Hour, if there was a news show with him as anchor I'd watch that all the time. He's mesmerising.

Whishaw's voice is simply wonderful. His narration in Cloud Atlas and his performance as Ariel in Julie Taymor's The Tempest are stunning. I still occasionally get sad that The Hour ended without any closure. We'll never know Freddie's fate.

For some reason, I thought it was Johnny Depp with a British accent that was doing the voice of Paddington.
