Dr. Smith was small and Scottish, from Aberdeen as a matter of fact, and he had a charmingly mobile face.
That's because the novels were written for Sylvester McCoy's Doctor and he did have a Scottish accent.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yes! Exactly! So why doesn't Tennant employ his own accent, eh? Eh? It's So. Damn. Adorable!
Glad you folks are getting Torchwood! It's like fanfic. It's like CRACKfic, in fact. Only it's canon. And doesn't Cardiff look all shiny and sexy? And oh, I do love down-to-earthness of the Wales stuff - CSI Cardiff, measuring the velocity of a kebab, etc.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yes, seriously, the Cardiff setting just warms my heart. I got to visit Cardiff for a day once, and really just loved what I saw, so modern Cardiff getting its own SFnal mythos is so great. Also, you can tell they location-shoot all over the place, which also gives the series a grand look, not cookie-cutter Vancouver locations. :-)

I have to give Tennant a hand for being a much better sport than Graham Norton's victimscelebrity guests usually are. Then again, I'm sure being on set with John Barrowman helps innure one more to double entendres than most work places.
It was hilarious how outraged he acted when the personals guy didn't believe it was him answering the ad.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Cardiff looks so cool, I want to go there.
Right now I'm watching my first episode of The 4400 since the end of Season 2 and it is so wierd to see Tom as a bad guy!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The only thing that would have made that better would have been had he used the Doctor Voice.

Still, you know if that guy ever says anything to his friends about it, at least one of them will have watched Graham Norton and be able to break it to him that it was the real deal.

Well, imagining that is the best part of the whole thing.

There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.
Did I miss a Norton Tennant interview on BBC America? Foo!
