With the new episode called "Listen" due to air tomorrow night in the uk it seems right to get some Doctor Who news only this one is a bit Strange. It seems that some oversee viewers are having trouble understanding the nw doctor with some having to use captions or even re-wrinding scene's a US speech coah had this to say “I do not believe it is purely the accent that is throwing off the American audience. The actor often speaks very quickly, with a staccato rhythm and without enough attention to articulating through to the end of his thought/line.This does promote a character choice of Doctor Who being sharp and quick-thinking, but does not help us understand what the Doctor is actually saying/thinking.” Now to help balance things out and prove it's not just oversee viewers a UK linguistics expert also put his two cents in and said “There was the odd moment when I struggled to hear exactly what he was saying, so I don’t think this is exclusively a US problem.It’s not just a matter of accent: speed of speech and volume are factors too, especially when there’s a lot of background noise. A mild Scots accent seems to cause no problem (think Sean Connery), but broad accents may need subtitling (as in Trainspotting).” So there you have it but tho people could understand doctor number 7 easy and he had a slight accent so why is Peter's accent causing trouble?. Anyways guys let me know if you can understand the new doctor down below?.
