[edit] Tricky grammar
"Richard Shaw, who spoke with a Cockney accent, was cast as Governor Lobos and asked to deliver his lines with a BBC accent instead."
- From this formulation, was Shaw asked to used a BBC accent or did Shaw request that he play Lobos with a BBC accent? There's no way to know. Now, if we go with the more awkward construction of:
"Richard Shaw... was cast as Governor Lobos and was asked...."
- then it is clear that the decision was not his.
