Many, many hearts for this. DT and CT are in fine form - especially exciting after DT's disappointing turn in "The Day of the Doctor". I especially love that last line, "The TARDIS doesn't fizzle." He stutters the first T, and that's sooo Tenth Doctor. EEEEEE! Can't wait til May!

Oh, yes, I have to agree that his voice has changed a lot. You can even hear the difference if you compare performances he's done with his normal voice, for example, Much Ado About Nothing vs. Broadchurch. It doesn't bother me, though, and maybe that's because I'm used to the audios, in which all of the classic characters are played by actors who are much older now and rarely sound like they used to when they were on the show. In particular, Peter Davison sounds barely like his young Doctor. But most of them nail the character, if not the youth.

As an aside, the one I'm really impressed with is Carole Ann Ford. She's in her 70s now, and she still performs her teen-aged role really well. What's more, the performance of hers that I listened to was an audiobook in which she also did the voice of the First Doctor, and she was incredible. Yes, you could still tell it was a woman doing the voice, but the style, quality, and inflections were perfect.

I caught some of that phenomenon in the one bit of a Sixth Doctor adventure I listened to, yeah.

I hear Frazer Hines does a scary good Second Doctor.

You are sooo right. Frasier is amazing. I complemented him on it at G1 last year and he launched right into it. I nearly cried.
