The whole segment is about five minutes long and is a behind the scenes piece on Dom’s new film ‘Spivs’. There are a few shots of Dom on set looking very tough and un-Merry-like… and when he does speak to camera his usual Manchester accent is replaced with his character’s Cockney accent! Seems like he was so in character he couldn’t shake the accent LOL!
