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.
