So, uh. Up until a few months ago I always thought those jokes about British people having bad teeth were just, well, jokes. Then I started watching Doctor Who and happened to see, at around the same time, several British movies/miniseries.

Wow. Total dental fail on all counts.

How these people can be so beautiful and yet not bother to fix their teeth is beyond me. I thought nearly everyone had straight white teeth these days. Almost everyone I personally know does. And these people on these tv shows are ACTORS, whose living somewhat depends upon them looking good. I swear, though, every time anyone on DW opens their mouth I start gawking at their teeth, especially the lower set. It's like the dark ages or something. They really should just hire a show orthodontist to straighten that shit out.

Also David Tennant's nose is crooked and he has a wonky eye.

But it's okay. I still heart him. And think he's totally hot, despite his weird physical awkwardness.

I'll come out when you stop yelling at me please :(

And I understand being defensive about teeth... when I was in elementary school I got made fun of for not having teeth as perfect as everyone else's, and I'm pretty sure it's why I ended up so militant about all teeth needing to be straight and perfect.

I suppose that makes sense. Gwen's teeth in Torchwood bother me, I'll be honest. It's just not in their culture to visit the dentist like it is over there. Even down here, there's a dentist in every public school and some people still don't fix their teeth.

(for the record I never got the - very hard to notice - overlap fixed because we moved around many countries when I was that age and my mom couldn't be bothered finding a good orthodontist all the time.)
