I know Dick Van Dyke's accent was awful in Mary Poppins, but after all these years its sort of become part of the film's charm for me. I'll see MP 2 just for his cameo.

Good = Ruth Wilson in the Affair
Bad = Ann Hathaway in One Day
Horrific = Dick Van Dyke in MP

Yes agree - Dick VD (erm) is so bad he's good

Best - Jodie Comer in Killing Eve - she did RP English, Russian, French and others I think.

Apparently her Russian accent was very good for a Brit.

Kevin McKidd in Grey's... No hint at all of his strong Scottish accent.

Best - anything by Jeremy Irons, is just brilliant.

Worst - ofcourse Dick Van Dyke, but it was so bad it didn't seem that awful. Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: prince of thieves is the worst for me (that comes to mind).

I think a lot of ones I think of have already been mentioned, a couple I thought of as Lord of the Rings was on telly recently...Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. Both really good.
