This is not going to be as bad as it may sound like at first. It's true, I distracted myself by watching documentaries on YouTube when actually I should have been studying, but hey, they were documentaries about topics that kind of relate to PC3! And even though I don't have to learn British culture for this PC and therefore nothing about the accents there :((( I stumbled upon a BBC documentary with Neil Oliver, a Scottish Archaeologist and television presenter. The documentary is called Faces of Britain and is mainly about how or if British people look differently depending on where in Britain they come from. It also raises the question if people in Wales for example look very distinct because of the Celtic influence in their genes (if there is such a thing, nobody knows, I don't want to spoiler you). Enough about the content, it is really very interesting and I don't want to tell you too much in case you want to watch it. You can find it on YouTube as a trilogy.
The reason why and how I found this documentary is actually a different and kind of stupid one: I felt the 'need' to listen to a Scottish accent because I think it is hilarious (in a very positive way!) and adorable, so I googled something like 'documentary Scotland bla bla' and found Neil Oliver. He has a very strong accent and you need to get used to it, but in my opinion he is very understandable and the content comprehensible and fascinating.
Admittedly, I haven't watched part 3 yet (shame!), but I can definitely recommend part 1&2.
