Stop being nitpicky. You knew full well what I meant originally and my point still stands. I didn't care if Tennant's native accent was English, Scottish, German, Russian, French, or American.
Depp as Who? Yep, it’s a load of bobbins…

We can categorically put this one to bed now, having spoken to Russell T Davies himself. It’s all rubbish. “Someone sits in New Zealand”, he wearily told us (except with a few more expletives), “Types out a rumour, and I spend the next three days dealing with that rumour!”

I don't see why you're still harping on and on about this since I said in my original post that I didn't care what Tennant's native accent was.Stop being nitpicky.

But actors often vary their accents from role to role. I don't see what the problem with Tennant, a British actor, playing an iconic British character, with a different regional British accent than the one he was born with?
Technically speaking only a Kryptonian should ever play Superman and only a Galifrayan should ever play the Doctor...
Ideally the Doctor should be a British actor, but frankly as with any role it should be the best person for the job, be the British, American or from Zimbabwe.
That's why a Welshman is Batman at the moment!
In the sense that they are part of the UK,People from Scotland are British.He's Scottish. He doesn't use his real accent except briefly in one episode.

Give it a rest already. There's nothing here to argue about.
[Iron Man is every bit as "culture specific" as Who. Try making Tony Stark irish and see what kind of outcry you'd get.
1. Christian Bale is an Englishman, not a Welshman. He was just born in Wales.
You know what...I would actually watch that.
Someone with a bit more substance please.
