That’s what I thought when I first watched House in English (actually watched the English OV before the dubbed German one).

I recognized that, too. So in the beginning I didn’t understand anything in English or German

@Viech: ‚Torchwood‘ I find pretty easy to understand. ‚Doctor Who‘ is a bit more challenging, if only because of our dear David 8o talking at such speed sometimes… I imagine he does about 3 pages of script in under a minute
But at least he’s not using his Scottish accent as the Doctor. Fast + Scottish = veeery tough! (or, thinking of his ‚Hamlet‘, fast + Shakespeare English = deadly for the first 15 minutes of the play )

But I love the Scottish accent
Well, I hope I’ll be able to buy Torchwood or DW on DVD soon, so I can hear myself, how fast David speaks

hihi
I can sign this one. Always sat in front of the TV.
Me: HA! Lupus! Nahh!!! Vasculitis. Cam, do a PET-Scan; Chase, patient history; Foreman, go break into his house!

Not as funny as Grey’s but good enough. Dunno…But it just sounds better in English.

Ok, the happy prime thing (didn’t look it up yet, but it’s the one from ’42‘, where they have to open the door locks by answering questions, isn’t it?) was a particular fast one. So he probably could do at least 5 pages per minute

btw: how comes we manage to bring every conversation round to a discussion on Doctor Who?

I didn’t start it. I just jumped on the opportunity
We could make it a challenge: who can spread the Doctor Who talk to more threads in the forum? I think it’ll obviously be a call between the 2 of us
btw in the Doctor Who Thread is an other Clip with more content from the Comic Con linked which is also in an amazing quality

Oh and yes, it’s of course from 42. Which might be an extreme example so I hope nobody gives up on watching it because of that little clip (thought of that a little bit too late).

well…
as for the scottish accent … I once made a journey to Scotland years ago…thought I would be able to understand at least a bit…but getting used to it is very hard and takes more time as I had back then. It’s lovely to listen to but trying to understand everything could be a little frustrating at times

Scottish accent is great. I love it. But did anyone here ever go to Wales? Horrible. They were talking to me in English but everything I understood was „hello“ and „bye“.

You sure the Welsh people were actually speaking English? Maybe it was Cymraeg?

The person standing next to me understood every single word they said and as long as he didn’t understand any language but English I’m pretty sure they were talking in English.
Oh, and I love australian accent. And american. And scottish. And british… I love like every accent except the welsh one xD

Well, the only pity is that Wales is part of Britain and thus Welsh is a British accent.

Not my favourite accent but it’s okay. I prefer the southern English or Scottish accent (Who’d have thought that :rolleyes:)
