bluesrat answered your question: What IS it about British actors that makes them so…
It’s the accent.Can we just talk about the Northern English accent for a minute? I may never be able to listen to the Ninth Doctor the same way again.
Hahaha, the Scouse accent’s had me by the throat ever since I fell for John Constantine (I really have a thing for reading about absolute bastards, don’t I). Though it always sounded so fuzzy, coming from any of the Beatles.
Though I think Nine was more Manchester. Kind of similar, but it’s just a little bit less thick.
