Time Crash

Skinny idiot! Decorative vegetable! The back of our head! Brainy specs! Two minutes to Belgium!

Has anyone else noticed that the transition bits between series and specials, and now this, seem to involve David Tennant repeatedly going "What?!" He has about four different inflections, too.

Yes. Yes it does. Because he has the most AWESOME "What?!" ever. :p

My theory is that he isn't speaking English. He's speaking an alien language that, like Mandarin and Cantonese, has various tonal inflections. So one of them means "your wife is a big hippo!" and another means "more boiling oil!", etc, etc.

David Tennant does an absolutely brilliant 'confused', though.

Also, you can tell he's Scottish when he says 'what' in that surprised tone of voice - it's the aspiration and the pure(ish) vowel.
