Well, of course David Tennant is Scottish. 😃

Not quite right. K9 model I left with Leela, back in _The Invasion of Time_. The fourth Doctor promptly built a new model. K9 model II left with Romana in _Warrior’s Gate_. In the spin-off one-shot _K9 and Company_, it was revealed that the Doctor had built yet a third K9 and sent _him_ to Sarah Jane. It’s this K9 mark III that appears in _School Reunion_.

Dear Lord, does this mean he will be even less comprehensible to an American-speaking audience (or even an English-speaking audience) than Eccleston?

I swear, there are times with Eccleston that I’ve felt I should turn on my TV’s captioning.

Fear not; he doesn’t use his actual accent most of the time - it was just ( I think ) for an episode where they were\* in \* Scotland.

Lots of planet have a north.  
I understood them all just fine. But I sometimes wondered if anyone over here had a problem with Rose losing consonants.
