I watch some British television shows and movies sometimes. Besides the usual Irish accent and Scottish accent that I can easily tell, there are some other speech patterns I find interesting.

Tony Blair doesn't speak anything like what the characters in the new "Dr. Who" speak. The "t" is almost silent, but not quite. They also enunciate certain syllables in an almost exaggerated way.
