I actually have an easier time understanding him in his natural accent than his Doctorly one--and Tennant speaks pretty quickly himself, so I don't think it's just the Doctor's motormouth.

Anyway. I will be jealous of you forever for seeing this, if you don't mind. :) But thanks for the in-depth review!

I will admit this isn't my favourite of the comedies to read, but watching it is fascinating.

That's always been my reaction to LLL too, and I'm first and foremost a comedies girl. I think I agree with you about the lovers; there's that brief moment when we find out that one of the ladies has a sister who died of love, but mostly everything has this sheen of wit that only cracks at the very end--and the Princess even admits that she and her ladies never took all the love-play seriously, that it was only "as bombast and as lining to the time."
