Jon (me), Ralph, Ricky, Andy and Anthony.  My role: a gent. The Five Gentlemen was the name chosen for a series of ten short videos aimed at analysing different aspects of English language in a funny and interesting way. Featuring myself and four colleagues, we talked to each other about our experiences of popular culture, accents, pronunciation and films in English. Each episode includes unique animation and the finished product is both educating and entertaining.  Selected videos below:
