Too not Sally Sparrow?

Haha you slay me, sir!

I think I'll die of happiness if she turns out to be spunky tomboy on top of it all. And speaks with the Scottish accent.

Of course, it could turn out that she's an absolutely dreadful actress as well. But I've got a good feeling about her.

Or, I just think she's cute and it's overshadowing everything.

She is very cute. She keeps staring at me, like, hey, wanna go make out in the 17th century?

lareinenoire May 29 2009, 16:00:35 UTC

She looks absolutely adorable but I will be very put out if they make her use Received Pronunciation. Of course, Steven Moffat is Scottish, so it seems probable that she'll get to keep her own accent.

I was rooting for a man, just for a change of pace, but it's all good!

spectralbovine May 29 2009, 16:03:01 UTC

Received Pronunciation?

Ooh, if she keeps her own accent, he's got to get her to say "murder" at some point, right?

RP is the sort of posh English you hear on the BBC, generally. They made David Tennant use it instead of his natural accent (which, in my opinion, is something of a travesty since his real accent is just delightful).

Hee, yes! She had better!

Also, I have so, so, so much love for your icon.

I enjoy Tennant's Doctor accent! It was so weird to hear him speak Scottish in Blackpool. But he is kind of delightful in real life, I agree.

"playing a role held in recent years by high-profile actresses Billie Piper, Kylie Minogue, Catherine Tate and Freema Agyeman,"

Uh, one of thesethings roles is not like the other...

spectralbovine May 29 2009, 16:02:23 UTC

I know!! That irked me too. Whatever, journalism.

Silly infotainment tendencies...

To be fair, Kylie is kind of a big deal here in Australia.

I do feel a bit like they are younging the series down a bit, with both The Doctor and his companion looking as if they could be in high school. But as long as they stick with the dark humor and heart wrenching story lines, I think I'll be okay. Also add me to the list of people that hope she gets to use her real accent.

I sure am going to miss Tennant, though. *sniffle*
