She doesn't really have to fake the British accent, since she grew up with it.
If she lived in London, she didn't grow up with that accent!

She was born in London; she grew up in East Grinstead, Sussex.

Hmm.. still sounds fake.. she wouldn't have an accent like that if she grew up in the south of the country!

Edit: Wiki says "Daphne was born in Manchester, England, the only daughter in a large, working-class family of nine children." so yes.. it is a fake accent, since shes pretending to be from manchester.

The guy in the beginning of the show like coughed up this bloody solid thing! It was also sweet, when they opened the guy up and you could see his heart pumping etc. I just enjoyed it as background listening, while doing some work. Is anyone impressed by how good my online spelling is these days? I am

I think he means that the character was from manchester so her "manchester accent" is fake.



All finished watching the third season now. I hear the fourth gets pretty interesting.

Hmm.. I'm not sure when I'll be able to watch it; probably not until tomorrow night. I think I'll have to avoid this thread until then!

I never really got into House. The character seems too much of a knock-off of that one on SCRUBS that's almost always right about the diagnosis, and gives all the residents a hard time and sounds like he doesn't care but really does with his sarcasm. If the character was toned down just a bit, and didn't have such a gad-awful scratchy voice, I might have gotten more into it (I can suspend disbelief enough to not care the medicine side of it would often qualify as malpractice in real life).
