Forum:The Doctor's Accent

Can someone tell me what kind of accent each of the Doctors had? I'm not sure how to put it, but I think "regional" is the word to describe what I'm talking about, whether they have a northern accent, Yorkshire accent etc. Anyway, if someone could tell me them, that'd be great.

Well, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 all had BBC accents - just standard English, not with any accent.

7 had a slightly Scottish accent, but not totally.

8 had a slight Liverpool accent, but not very noticeably.

9 had a Northern accent :D

10 had a a London accent... not really sure how to describe that one.

11 had a BBC accent again

I'm pretty sure all of these are correct Halftimelord 10:22, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm tempted to be pedantic and say that 10 was more estuary. But then again, I could be wrong Pantohorse 13:00, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

The 'BBC English' as mentioned above is more commonly known as Received Pronunciation. And yes, David Tennant affected an estuary accent as the tenth doctor.
 * See, I wouldn't say Eleven has an RP accent at all. I don't know what I'd call it, but it's not a Baker/Baker thing.  There's a world of difference, to my ears, between Smith and Colin Baker, who's surely the most RP of the lot.   Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  06:56, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
