At the opening of The Empty Child they are running around the console and CE is talking just as fast as DT ever did, maybe faster. I first saw CE in DW, so that's all I knew of him. I played that scene over a few times because he is so clear in his speech and his accent is a dream.

It's weird the stereotype that Nine became. I'm from the U.S. and I guess it's similar to the Southern accent down home slightly slow hick stereotype we have. I knew I was a Ninth DW fan when he gave that little inward smile and THAT speech in Rose. Nothing I've seen in the new DW has topped that.
