I'm tempted to be pedantic and say that 10 was more estuary. But then again, I could be wrong [[User:Pantohorse|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.

Can someone tell me what kind of accent each of the Doctors had? I'm not sure how to put it, but I think "regional" is the word to describe what I'm talking about, whether they have a northern accent, Yorkshire accent etc. Anyway, if someone could tell me them, that'd be great.

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)
