Having heard the actress speak in Doctor Who Confidential it did sound like she was putting on some kind of accent when in character but that it was not of a specific region. I'm pretty rubbish with accents so I could be wrong.
Did I detect a little oversensitivity there?”
Yeah, think they are a bit oversensitive, don't worry, I think everything you said was fine. You were commentating on what you observed after all, it was 'generic foreign' tv-land style. You didn't tell her to do that accent (which yes, she was putting on and didn't have in confidential). Doesn't prove that you don't go out much!
