Better than that, he does a variation of his natural accent so that it comes across as put on in a subtle way. He also still follows the speech pattern of the doctor and once in the episode he even slips ever so slightly back into an English accent ie his “normal accent” on the show at the end of a phrase. I’ve just rewatched the episode and it honestly stupefied me how much it feels like he is “putting on an accent” throughout especially when he inadvertently “drops it” when things get serious. Note the quotes are meant to be how it feels since he obviously isn’t losing an accent ha. Tremendous actor.
@@victorsardaneta8727 it's palm cards that the doctor has when he needs to seem sympathetic and apologise, he'll just look for one that suits the situation and use it. It's a call back to when he accidentally dropped Sara Jane "home" at Aberdeen rather than where she actually lived, so he keeps a palm card as a call back to it and for (I'm assuming) if he ever see Sara Jane again so he can properly apologise.
@@victorsardaneta8727 Sarah Jane Smith ( a companion from Classic Who) was from Croyden, and was dropped off in Aberdeen. This may or may not have happened again or before, as The Doctor now, as shown on the 2:13 timestamp, has a flashcard for "It was my fault, I should have known you didn't live in Aberdeen."
Almost "If you two could put your weight on the door and stop it opening too suddenly. Don't want to lose my arm. I'm rather attached to it. It's so handy."
I couldn’t help but have a little cry when Yaz said she dropped them off at Croydon. Elisabeth Sladen was always my favourite Classic Who companion, and her pop ups in New Who were always so bittersweet and fun. I really wish she was still here so she could’ve been involved in such an iconic episode. RIP Elisabeth Sladen. ❤
the last gag was more than a gag, it was a tribute to the companion who should have been there but sadly could not: they found a way of honoring Sarah Jane and include her, albeit in a subtle way.
The Tardis being a very intelligent being with excellent taste prefers landing in Scotland. She is obviously not terribly concerned about the short-term inconvenience of the Doctor.

No, he studied “magetics” at GCSE (as he was pretending to be human) but he failed whereas he also took Geography and supposedly passed that one when talking about the distance covering half the Earth - right?
When this first aired I thought, "Oh he does a pretty good Scottish accent!" And then I found out he was actually Scottish and concluded he did a pretty good English accent! 🤣 But please, don't anyone let him do an American accent.
As an American with only a limited knowledge of UK geography, these jokes are funny twice-once when they say them, and a second time when you look up a map to see just how far Croydon is from Aberdeen! 😂
Had to look it up! We just got back from a wonderful 2 week self-guided trip to the London area, drove all around southwest England for 6 days too. Bath, Lyme Regis, etc. I remember signs for Croydon but couldn't remember why it was funny. What's that, 9+ hour drive?
That's the funny thing. A lot of viewers outside the UK don't get the joke because they don't know where those places are or how far apart they are. Then viewers in the UK say they're really far apart because they're on opposite ends of the country. But only someone from the UK would see those places as being really far apart, because their country is tiny.

I laughed at Yaz saying Croydon, close enough, immedately thinking of Sarah Jane and I've never seen that episode of Classic (or many at all)! Also I love The 10th Doctor's Scottish accent still isn't even Tennant's real accent!
Having never watched classic who I always assumed Sarah Jane's line about Aberdeen was a little in joke and that perhaps her "final" scene was filmed in Aberdeen but meant to be croydon, which was picked up as an error by eagle eyed viewers and then turned into a joke in the show. Nevermind.
Whats great with the Peter Capaldi one, the added layer to the gag is that Glasgow is where Peter lives, and he took Clara there after saying he was "taking her home"
I think they should eventually pay this off with something like there being something in Scotland that the tardis likes, or something very obvious the doctor keeps missing since we all know that Tardis might not always take him where he wanted to go, but always got him where he needed to be. So why does he need to be in Scotland?
@@agsystems8220 she certainly isn't a fan of most of them. I'm amazed that Rose needed to use a tow truck to open the time vortex cover, as the TARDIS would presumably have been quite happy to irradiate her...

David Tennant plays the Doctor with basic accent for both the british TV and the rest of the world. As soon as he lands in scotland, his real accent sneaks out with a vengance.
That's not his real accent. David Tennant is Scottish, but he thought just speaking with his normal accent would be cheating. So he's actually using a different Scottish accent in that episode.
@@MythicFox I'm refering to his real Scottish accent. Which yes he does use in the scene provide. Yes he spends most of the episode after this speaking like normal doctor who, but as soon as he said, "are we in Scotland?" he said it like a scotsman's would, not a brit. As I said in the comment. Read better.
Fun Fact! Tennents lil reaction after mentioning Thatcher wasnt in the script, its just a thing that happens whenever a Scottish person mentions her name!
the joke should be there's something odd about the minerals in the rocks of scotland that always send the tardis way off, either in space or time. and there's few places like that in the universe.
"Journey's End" "Now then, you lot. Sarah, hold that down. Mickey, you hold that. Because you know why this Tardis always is always rattling about the place? Rose? That, there. It's designed to have six pilots, and I have to do it single handed. Martha, keep that level. But not any more. Jack, there you go. Steady that. Now we can fly this thing. No, Jackie. No, no. Not you. Don't touch anything. Just stand back. Like it's meant to be flown. We've got the Torchwood Rift looped around the Tardis by Mister Smith, and we're going to fly Planet Earth back home. Right then. Off we go!"
I always wonder if it's just the Doctor being an incompetent driver or if it's the Tardis' mistake. Could be both, I suppose. Or the Tardis does it intentionally.
The TARDIS has a faulty navigation system, which is why the doctor was able to steal it from the Time Lords originally. It's been fixed and broken again throughout the years though
@@PenneySounds Just Googled her. The Doctor people are like a family, even generational(or is that REgenerational?) with the offsprings getting into the act(literally). Even with 7's daughter marrying 10!

OMG Saturday evenings, what a blast! Catch a Bull's basketball game, then switch over to public access for some Red Dwarf and Doctor Who, then finish things off with Saturday Night Live. Yeah, yeah, I didn't have a girlfriend when I was 11, so what.
"continuity on point" for the most part is just nostalgia and easter eggs. Fans grew up and wrote the episode, they're member berries. "ooh, member Croydon?" "I member!!" "Member daleks?"
How about the continuity parallel of the TARDIS being piloted by one lead as the other just begins waking up, right before the Doctor - with whom the companion is in love - regenerates into David Tennant? Yaz piloting with 13 unconscious immediately reminded me of 9 piloting with Rose unconscious. And they literally both become David Tennant.
careful, you outrage the Brits who have zero qualms about portraying people from other countries with horrible accents but freak out if someone non-British dares to act in a “British” role
@@PenneySounds - they are going to Crotin, they should have gone to Crotin. Bugs Bunny talks about going to Walla Walls Washington or making wrong turns at Albuquerque. They just pop up when talking about places they want to go to or passed through.
I just love the running joke that the Doctor never willingly goes to Scotland. It's always an accident. Very English
FAKE NEWS! The Doctor went to Scotland deliberately to fight Zygons, the Loch Ness Monster, and Nicola Sturgeon. (I may be lying about that last bit.)
Which is Ironic considering how many Doctors are Scottish. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe of New Who 3 of the 6 doctors we’ve met are Scottish.
3? There's only McCoy, Tennant, and Capaldi, and Tennant played his incarnation as English.

"Under The Lake"
@@PenneySounds Thanks!
OMG Saturday evenings, what a blast! Catch a Bull's basketball game, then switch over to public access for some Red Dwarf and Doctor Who, then finish things off with Saturday Night Live. Yeah, yeah, I didn't have a girlfriend when I was 11, so what.
I'll bet half the reason the doctor can never go to the right place is because he forgot he was already there and then lmao
Is the area around the tardis not shielded- I did see it in other episodes- so why put his arms up - the bullets should deflect?!
Did anyone else come here to see the continuity being spot on, only to find a running joke?
"continuity on point" for the most part is just nostalgia and easter eggs. Fans grew up and wrote the episode, they're member berries. "ooh, member Croydon?" "I member!!" "Member daleks?"
it’s also that they wanted to include a big nod to Liz Sladen in the show without using archival footage or CGI…so gave a nod indirectly
It's a good reference, though.
are we in scothland? (thanks for the memories video)
10th doctor almost became the 8th doctor there😅
Love the fact that the Doctor hates Thatcher
the BBC being "politically neutral" as usual.
How about the continuity parallel of the TARDIS being piloted by one lead as the other just begins waking up, right before the Doctor - with whom the companion is in love - regenerates into David Tennant?
Yaz piloting with 13 unconscious immediately reminded me of 9 piloting with Rose unconscious. And they literally both become David Tennant.
Yaz! You didn't!?😆
"Margaret Thatcher, euuugh"
02:29: Billie Piper is grinning like a maniac in the backround.
Gods aren't always perfect.
My headcanon is that when BBC inevitably casts an American as The Doctor, they’ll treat it as if it was the end of the world.
RTD should get Adam Sandler as The Doctor and Nicholas Cage as The Master after Ncuti Gatwa.
That's just not okay
Rarely have I seen or encountered such abominable heresy as this. No. Just, no. (Expletive Redacted,) no!
careful, you outrage the Brits who have zero qualms about portraying people from other countries with horrible accents but freak out if someone non-British dares to act in a “British” role
I miss this show...
It's been like 2 weeks. We've still got a year to wait for more.
The Doctor and his bad directions
River can park the Tardis perfectly 😉😂😂
Croton sounds like Bugs Bunny’s- Walla-Walla
What?
@@PenneySounds - they are going to Crotin, they should have gone to Crotin.
Bugs Bunny talks about going to Walla Walls Washington or making wrong turns at Albuquerque.
They just pop up when talking about places they want to go to or passed through.
I literally recoil whenever I see THAT Doctor. You know the one.
Yeah 12s eyebrows really would give you a fright eh?
Wait. Did the Doctor ever manage to get to Barcelona??? The planet.
Chips and Coffee Perfect Combination!
The doctor and his terrible sense of direction
