I've definitely been surprised by finding out someone didn't match their screen accent in real life! Also, I couldn't take Paul Bettany looking grim through an entire movie. I want to see his smile!
I've had a few Americans ask me if I'm from New England. Of course, I've also had them ask me if I'm "Scotch"* or Irish as well. And one young lady in a pharmacy in New Mexico asked me to just talk to her as she couldn't get enough of my accent. 
*I never use the word 'scotch' when talking about Scottish people. Scotch is whiskey, pancakes, rolls and eggs - and a brand of sticky tape, not Scttish people.

Went to see Judge Dredd today it's in 3D some of the effects were purely put in for the 3D effects, it was not bad reminded me of The Block which I had seen recently, it probably would be better in 2D but I quite enjoyed it, just a few notches above Ok though and not worth the extra for the 3D price.
Ps Tony I'm going to be pendantic here, Scotch is whisky, Whiskey is Irish, and never the twain shall meet.

Crys, there really are only three episodes, but the double DVD contained the pilot episode, which was never shown on TV. A Study in Pink is actually a remake of that pilot.
My DVDs certainly have English subtitles because when we tried to watch it PBS in America, Sharlene had difficulty in understanding what they were saying, so when I bought the DVDs I checked that they had subtitles and have watched them with those subtitles.
As to there being only three episodes - the producers have said that is because the episodes are an hour and a half long, so more like movies than TV shows. It was thought that less episodes would allow them to spend more and make better shows.

After finding series 3 of The Brittas Empire in a charity shop yesterday, I watched three episodes last night and had forgotten how funny the show was. There were some real laugh out loud moments. Our boss in the Post Office at the time had the nickname of Gordon Brittas as he was very much like the character.
It also struck me that Judy Flynn, who played Julie in the show, would have made a really good Magrat if they'd ever filmed one of the Witch books.
