I love Chris Eccleston period. So yeah, I was a huge fan of Nine.

Colin Morgan's accent is adorable. Apparently when they were doing the screen tests for Merlin, they actually had him run through a bunch of accents - one of which was more of a Dublin-Irish accent)... but yeah, then they went with the standard "British" accent (I have no idea what you call that general accent you guys have.)

I'm a huge fan of Irish accents too. I cat-sitted the other week for a couple where there husband is Irish, and my goodness, he's too old for me and I'm not physically attracted to him, but he only needed to talk to me and I swooned. :P
