Frank taught me to speak Brummie, says Dr Who
DR Who star David Tennant has revealed how he learned to speak Brummie with the help of comic Frank Skinner.
The 36-year-old actor got tongue-tied when asked to do the Midland accent for a play but Sandwell-born Skinner, aged 50, stepped in as a last-minute vocal coach when Tennant turned up at the same radio station.
Tennant said: "I really enjoy doing accents but the only one I did have a bit of difficulty with was Birmingham.
"Luckily when I got to the studio Frank was there which helped a lot!"
