You Know You're a Whovian When...

[ecchi]

and let's not forget both David Tennant and John Barrowman are of Scottish decent

Yes, and they both had the sense to move south of the wall, and the decency to hide their American accent when in Dr. Who.

Actually being serious for a while (only temporarily, I assure you), it always struck me as very bad that Eccleston was allowed to keep his Northern accent when he played the Doctor, but Tennant was not. It could have understood if Davis had insisted that both use a 'home counties' accent, or if he allowed both to use their native accent, but in allowing one and not the other it is at though he is saying "North England Good - Scotland bad", which I don't really think is fair or right, and is slightly racist.

OK, serious over, I'll now go back to looking down on those skirt wearing savages from north of Hadrian's wall who's national dish is a sheep's stomach stuffed with it's other internal organs.

i think it was a case of Eccleston's inability to change his accent... i mean i've never heard him speak with a different one... whereas both David and John are able to switch accents at will....

Ok, this is a bit of a stretch, but...

YKYAWW - you think "Sex LIves of the Potato Men" (dreadful "comedy" starring Johnny Vegas) is Sontaran porn.

Why is everyone off topic with this England Scotland thing? As a mod I feel compelled to return you all to the topic.

We were meant to be talking about Halloween, right? Yes we have it in England; it's the traditional night for apple-bobbing and a turnip lantern and all that.

People talk about escaping from daleks by going upstairs and you explain to them that daleks have been able to fly or levitate since the third doctor.

[Lilith]
