Series 11 News & Spoilers

[Gavin70]

What I am finding though, is that Jodie’s accent sounds fake to me, put on, exaggerated.

It sounds fake? You do know that's her normal accent, right?

 

[Butters]

It sounds fake? You do know that's her normal accent, right?

I know where she’s from, one metropolitan borough to the west of me, but her accent still sounds off to my ear. Not all of the time, but often.

I know where she’s from, one metropolitan borough to the west of me, but her accent still sounds off to my ear. Not all of the time, but often.

Could she be articulating her words differently than she normally would so we can (theoretically) understand her better? I've heard some northern folk talking normally, and have a hard time understanding anything they're saying.

On early Red Dwarf, Craig Charles had an unbelieveable Scouse accent, but you could tell by his lip movement that he was doing something he doesn't do on the newer series'.

 

[Gov Kodos]

Maybe, what sounds wrong in Jodie's accent is just an acting choice? That's the Doctor talking, after all. She didn't grow up in Britain.

All Time Lords/Ladies have accents from the UK.

 

[Gov Kodos]

All Time Lords/Ladies have accents from the UK.

Yes, but folks were discussing Jodie's accent and whether it was off somehow in the show.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

I know where she’s from, one metropolitan borough to the west of me, but her accent still sounds off to my ear. Not all of the time, but often.

I believe she's said that she softens it for the show but after an afternoon nattering with Mandip both their accents get broader and broader.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Nurse Mabli from The Tsuranga Conundrum sounded Irish to me, but she's from Glasgow.

Did anyone else hear an Irish accent?

No, just the Scottish

That I’d like to see/hear, a proper broad doctor, like. You’re probably right though, and if she is metering the accent, it’s bound to sound off.

Obviously, we can’t have the lead actor of an internationally popular series sounding like Lynne Perrie in Kes, awesome as that would be.

 

[Pindar]

Nurse Mabli from The Tsuranga Conundrum sounded Irish to me, but she's from Glasgow.

She sounded very Scottish to me.
Quite definitly the Glasgow TV accent that Glaswegian actors always seem to put on.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Thanks. Maybe her softer voice didn't make it as obvious to me as say, that other guy....you know who I'm talking about

Details on the final two episodes from Gallifrey Base

It Takes You Away

'On the edge of a Norwegian fjord, in the present day, The Doctor, Ryan, Graham and Yaz discover a boarded-up cottage and a girl named Hanne in need of their help. What has happened here? What monster lurks in the woods around the cottage - and beyond?'


The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos

'On the planet of Ranskoor Av Kolos, lies the remains of a brutal battlefield. But as the Doctor, Graham, Yaz and Ryan answer nine separate distress calls, they discover the planet holds far more secrets. Who is the mysterious commander with no memory? What lies beyond the mists? Who or what are the Ux? The answers will lead the Doctor and her friends towards a deadly reckoning.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Sounds like fascinating mysteries.

Plus, fjords! You never go wrong with fjords!

Slartibartfast does good work.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

He certainly leaves the local parrots pining for them.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Slartibartfast does good work.

As does Fjord Prefect.............

I'l get me coat.

 

[Mr Soak]

Norway you're getting away with those puns.

 

[BritishSeaPower]

Love a good fjord. Wonder if it’s Bad Wold Bay again.

As for the last one, sounds good. Something almost makes me wonder if the commander from Tsuranga is the memory-less one mentioned.

 

[StCoop]

As for the last one, sounds good. Something almost makes me wonder if the commander from Tsuranga is the memory-less one mentioned.

Are we expecting some kind of strory arc to be revealed? If there is one it's been incredibly subtle so far.

And I wonder if they went to Norway for Episode 9, because it's the kind of landscape you can't really fake in the UK.
