Still snow. Oh and a prequel! :)

My garden really does resemble my icon. Except without the TARDIS and the reindeer. See below cut for evidence...





Also there is a PREQUEL to Bells of St John. See below second cut.

And - randomly - apparently it's Twitter's 7th anniversary. They made a video. Which - when set to the theme from Inception - makes it come across as if they're trying to destroy the world. (The Inception theme would probably have this effect on most things.) Still, if you're curious, go here.

Plus, allow me to recommend this Doctor/River vid: You Know My Name. (All Bond songs fit River!)

Ugh, snow! It's too late in March for snow. I have decreed it, thus the world better freaking listen up. ;)

That is a cute prequel. A question: Little Clara sounds to my American ear like she's got a Northern accent? Does older Clara have the same accent?

Uh-huh. It's very pretty, but I can't really believe it's actually there...

Mmmmmm. *listens carefully* A tiny hint maybe. But THIS is a proper Northern accent. *g* I'd say little!Clara's accent fits older Clara fairly well.

Aw. Yeah, it wasn't crazy strong (Lucie Miller in the Eighta audios has a proper Northern accent too); it might be another slight regional thing that I keep hearing and thinking the vowels sounded different.

When I listened again I could kinda hear it, but as I live in Yorkshire it doesn't stand out? ;)

[eve11]

Ha, makes sense. It was the way she said "Have you lost something? When I lose something, I go..." etc that twigged my ear.

Anyway I live in Pittsburgh so I deal with this. Played for laughs but I've definitely heard folks talk that way in real life.

There is a hint, but this is a Leeds accent, which is just... so much broader. (I live fairly near Leeds, this is what I hear every day.) Bitty Clara's accent is sort of pleasantly between North & South.

And thanks for sharing. :)

[eve11]

Heh, her American accent is pretty good. Better than any attempt I would have at a Leeds accent!

[elisi]

Well, I'm sure she's heard a lot more American than vice-versa... ;)

No, I'm hearing it too. Certainly no expert on British accents, but I know JLC has a regional accent she drops for the role. On Craig Ferguson, she said she was from Blackpool. I wonder if they're duplicating their trick with Amy of employing a young relative to play little!Clara?

[elisi]

I hadn't noticed until it was pointed out, but then as I said... I hear a stronger version on a daily basis...

[promethia_tenk]

This is weird. Usually I'm the one who can't hear accents.
