@Lula – I’m the worst person to ask about accents because I have no ear for them at all. From what I’ve heard of Tennant (I’ve seen him on stage a few times before Who, notably in Look Back in Anger in Glasgow) […]

@lula

Happily, we never get “talkie” trailers in the UK. Way back when the trailers for series 6 were released, BBC America did a good promo with Mark Sheppard doing the voice over – “Doctor Who is coming to […]

@Lula – with pleasure (although @WhoHar has already got in an excellent concise answer)

RP is “received pronunciation” – its the accent the all actors and announcers working on the BBC were trained to adopt for […]

@Lula – there are defo two hearts!!!! What are the implications? River Song – a full on Time Lord!?

@Lula – OH!!! yes, please post it here!  Unless @Craig, or someone else has another suggestion, I recommend uploading it somewhere (I use google picasa) you can retrieve a URL for it, then link the image here […]

@Lula RP = Received Pronunciation aka BBC
English.

The sort of accent the BBC newsreaders have.

@Lula. Another Fringe fan. That nicely filled the gap between Who series for me. (There was a brief discussion of Fringe over in the TV thread some time ago.)

Cheers

@Lula @badwolf99 – a shout out for Breaking Bad from me too; I’ve met all sorts of people hot and cold on Wire, Mad Men (especially) and the Sopranos etc. But I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t gripped by BB from […]

@lula @bluesqueakpip – hell I’m just enjoying hearing a cosily familiar accent on telly, wobbly or not from JLC. Not heard often enough (comedy continuity announcers do not count)

I can’t say I’m noticing it […]

@lula and @elwingt, thanks for the info! I agree, things like those Amy lead-ins are usually pretty horrible, but I do have an interest in how the show is promoted and seen overseas, so I thought I’d ask.

When […]

There is a general level of twattery on the Guardian blog now which is disappointing.

I too am very anti the anti-American comments which I find to be […]

I too am very anti the anti-American comments which I find to be quite offensive and ignorant. Most of those […]

@Lula. It must be time for R.A. to do a cameo in Dr Who, as a meglamaniac Time Lord perhaps. He would be a good Master but I doubt he would commit to more than one episode what with being a famous Dwarf and […]

@Lula.  Ryan is an old friend of mine. He will love to hear that. He worries about his accent. I tell him no one is listening to his accent but somehow that does not reassure…

@JimtheFish @Lula

Good job the Moff’s Scottish or he might be accused of being racist rather than realist! Amy’s courting techniques and Palmer’s emotional entropy – if they’re typical, it’s no wonder the women […]

@thommck – Congratulations on your prize!

@elwingt – welcome. Could I ask you or @lula something if you […]

@Juniperfish @Lula @Shazzbot etc. I want to run this forum kinda freefrom, just to see how it goes. And no one needs to apologise for posting in the wrong place (there’s no such thing). I’ve said before, this is […]

@Craig and everyone else – basically it’s brilliant here, and any paradoxes will work themselves out eventually 🙂

Right – feet up and a drinkie on here – over to the Hide thread for speculation

@Lula awww […]

@Craig Welcome back! “Novels to read” Lol

@Lula Yes I am convinced Moffat has written an arc which spans all the seasons since he started as showrunner.

For a start the Big Bang happens in the middle of the […]

As @lula has given some information on Cumbria, I’ll confess that I was thinking about Bells of St. John and did have the thought it could be a big in-joke if this series is about to be some secret of The […]
