Watched this on youtube, and Hillerman appears to keep his British accent off set

Also, how weird to see an A Team member near Higgins!

Facinating! I wish he would have mussed up Jessica Fletchers hair (in a gentlemanly,proper british style of course) when he walked past her............

That sounds more like an American accent to me. It's a softer accent, but quite American to my ear.

Here's Hillerman talking about Texan wine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9blfc9c2uFU

It sounds like a mix of British and American accents. This video is from 1985 and it feels as if it could have been shot yesterday, how little has changed at these events, everyone looks the same. I always despised these events, both the people on stage and in the audience.
