Actually, is he American or not? He seems to have grown up in the US, but was born in Scotland, so I'd be interested to know which passport he carries.

I always thought Barrowman was standard whitebread British, but that impression was mainly based on his accent rather than any factual info. I ran across an old Entertainment magazine the other day from back when he was a closeted nighttime soap star on US television. Boy, was some of the PR stuff funny in retrospect!

His natural accent in interviews is American, which sounds perfectly normal to my ears. Does it sound to you as though it has a British twinge?

I love all this accent stuff, though I am a bit disappointed that David Tennant doesn't seem to be using his natural Scottish one as the Doctor .

His accent sounded too American, like it was being forced or something.

I saw him (assuming it's the same guy, and I'm pretty sure it is) in a production of Sondheim's "Company", and he's on the DVD release of "Putting It Together." Never occurred to me he was anything other than American.

Big hats, scarves, long dresses and skirts. Not so much the actual Victoriana, mind, but it's definitely a theme. Although as of yesterday I'm accessorising with a lovely black and white Hello Kitty bag, very shiny, very cute, holds my tortoiseshell sunglasses, sandalwood fan and telescopic London Tube Map umberella very nicely, along with the wallet and keys and 'phone. (the latter has the most GORGEOUS big gay porn snog photo on it as wallpaper at present, and has had for the past few months.)

wantwantwant Brendan Fraser. Or the mummy. He can devour my flesh any time. Yes.

Today I was reading McKay/Sheppard pr0n on the laptop at school, whilst the little blighters were out at their Arabic lesson. Am very naughty. Also, damn it, I'm in danger of being sucked into SG:A fandom without having seen any of the blessed source material. Damn it. Wretched Evil Boss must pay me, else how can I fly home and buy DVDs?????

I'm pointedly ignoring all this Dr Who talk. It makes me grumpy and jealous. Stoopid world.

This post got so excited by the coolness of Fay that it stumbled and fell right out of the thread. Making ita look crazy in the process.

Fay, you have a computer, yeah? Are you still going to be in Egypt in September? I know that's a long time from now, but it's the best I can maybe do.

In Dr. Who ep. 6, that Diana Goddard was Osiris, right? Isn't she English? (Or, looking at IMDB, New Zealand...ish?) It was a little disconcerting!

Aillleann, you're pretty much got the more devoted genre TVers here. Most of the general TV talk happens in Natter, amongst the other stuff.

I do have a computer, but I'm a bit cagey about downloading things off Kazaa etc because I'm a technological idiot and although I've got some virusy detecty things, there isn't much. I feel very tentative about sending my laptop off to shag total strangers more or less bareback.

Um.

But, yes, insh'allah I'll still be here in September - if there's anything you could suggest I'd be most grateful!

ion, I've finally watched Angel Season 5. For me, the Buffyverse finally ended last night.

Damn.

Also? Oh My God! They killed Lindsey! (And Wes, of course, but not in the same treacherous fashion.
