Oh, rats, I was afraid of that. Well, maybe I'll just stick in a link to the picture instead.

Sorry!

I don't think it was laziness, was it? My understanding is that RTD really thought that it was preferable for the Tenth Doctor to not have a Scottish accent. Something to do with following on from Eccleston's Northern accent, and not wanting to "do a tour of the regions" (not that I understand why that would be a problem, though).

Which is why I consider it laziness - he knew David could do that godsawful mockney accent so he didn't bother letting David either use his real accent or do a different one. And no, I don't understand why Ten being Scottish after Nine's northern should be any kind of issue. Sometimes I worry about the way in which Rusty's brain works (or rather, doesn't seem to work!)

It's too bad, because I adore David's real accent, and I really wish he would get to use it more often in his acting! I especially wish he'd been able to use it for "Rex is Not Your Laywer" -- did you see the clip from the pilot that got posted around not long ago? I love David's acting, but his American accent was truly horrendous. Where's Nicola Bryant when you need her?

It is appalling - even to a non-American! I don't why he couldn't have used the accent he used in 'Of Mice and Men' - most people who've heard it have said that he did a much better American accent in that than in anything else. (And yes, I wish he could've been Scottish - they could've explained it as his parents being ex-pats - plenty of ex-pats retain their accents in other countries.)
