I adore Jennifer. And I would completely agree, I'd choose her over Dawn any day. She has such an amazing ability to become the people she's playing. She astounds me. If it weren't for Gina Riley, I'd definitely say Jen was the funniest person on the planet.

I am absolutely fascinated by the accent which is just downright sexy

Only some of them. Believe me, there are a number of Scottish accents that are the exact opposite of sexy.

Yes, exactly! You actually believe she's the person she's playing. She's so amazing.

Only some of them.

Hee! Are you sure it's not because you're Scottish and you hear the accents differently? Maybe they all sound sexy to my non-native ears.

Watch this clip and then tell me that all Scottish accents are 'sexy'.

I blame Simone Lahbib. Everyone now thinks that everyone in Scotland sounds like Simone Lahbib. Of course, I do, because I come from the same place. But certain bits of Glasgow and Edinburgh have awful sounding accents.

Watch this clip

I honestly didn't think it was that bad! I simply perceived it as maybe a little more of a lower class accent. No idea if that's the case, though. Where are the actors in the clip from? Heh, now I have a craving to buy and watch Wedding Belles.

But yeah, I do believe there are awful sounding Scottish accents. Every language seems to have those; there certainly are awful sounding Finnish accents and yours truly definitely speaks with one. I think the first Scottish person whose accent I really noticed was John Hannah. Guh, he's gorgeous. ♥

OK, you're obviously a hopeless case.

But you should definitely buy Wedding Belles!!! It's a little bizarre, and I wasn't sure I liked it after one viewing. But now I love it.

It has Anita from ep 2.02 of MiS (Michelle Gomez is my hero!):

I checked out your Wedding Belles post a while back and was intrigued already then. But now, after seeing that clip, I really want to see it.

Eee, Michelle Gomez is great. ♥

I've always thought John Hannah looked a bit like 'The Grinch'

Heeey, now that you mentioned it, he sort of does! So odd that I find him appealing.
