And quite frankly, I dont understand what you mean by "right" accent anyway.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "Northern"/Welsh accent considered akin to a Mississippi/southern accent here? If so....and that's the notion I've gotten from Brits on other boards...that would immediately put Eccles in a class-disadvantage in terms of broad popularity. Tennant (which I had forgotten he was faking it) is doing something close to a "Received Pronunciation", like C.Baker-to-Hartnell.

Of course, feel free to enlighten me here. I have genuinely believed that's why they gave the whole "Lots of planets have a north" line in Rose...
