Goofs

The English girl claims to be from Leeds, England, so should sound lower class northern, instead she has an accent that sounds way more like she's grown up in the Home Counties. For those unfamiliar with this, she should sound more like the new female Doctor Who or the first Doctor of the new series, but instead she sounds more like she should be finding lions at the back of the wardrobe or casting spells with Hermione Granger. Pip pip.

Quotes

Barbara: Ever lose a dog?
Sophia: Yeah. It got hit by a car.
Barbara: Probably not. Probably hors d'oeuvres for a giant.
Sophia: No, my dad backed over it.
Barbara: Oh. Lucky.
