I've met guys who learned English from Red Dwarf (sound Scouse) and EastEnders (sound Cockney).

For sure this is a thing.

Also a bartender who had a Scottish "regular" so spoke English with his accent (the bar was in Amsterdam).

Huge fan of Red Dwarf, what the hell is a Scouse? Is that the proper term for Smeghead?
