Well, we’ve had David Tennant (unintentionally) give several American accents a go in Rex is Not Your Lawyer. Now, let’s see how Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darville do at New Jersey/New York (isn’t Snooki from New York originally?), Alaska and wherever the crap Ghostface Killah is from, as they read out some celebrity tweets in their best American accents. Matt Smith seems to think they all come from Texas or thereabouts.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
