Wow. You're right about Rose's voice. For a sentence or two at the beginning there I didn't recognize BP at all and wondered who the Doctor was talking to. I still do think DT also sounds older and, as in the first series that I listened to bits of, don't find him 100% convincing, but wow about Billie. Someone needs to have coached her to raise the pitch of her voice, or something.
ETA: It got better as the thing wound on. I wonder if she warmed up, or something. But still. And I also agree that the ending was unsatisfying; I felt that even though I knew it was coming and what it would turn on, it still felt very abrupt that they suddenly turned around like that.
I don't think people really sounded like they were "mocking" the Doctor, though? Closest was the Chevalier's dialogue when they were fencing, I thought.
