The Scouse accent is highly distinctive; having been influenced heavily by [[Ireland|Irish]], [[Norway|Norwegian]], and [[Wales|Welsh]] immigrants who arrived via the [[Liverpool Docks]], it has little in common with the accents of its neighbouring regions or the rest of [[England]]. The accent is named after lobscouse, a stew eaten by sailors and locals.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouse</ref>
== Behind the scenes ==
The name of the dialect is occasionally taken as a designation of the people speaking it. In [[Series 13 (Doctor Who)|Series 13]], [[Dan Lewis|Dan]], and [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]] are frequently calling each other Scouse (Dan), and [[Yorkshire]] (Yaz) in friendly banter. On occasion, Dan even refers to himself as Scouse, or even "Official Scouse".
