And it's not also the first time that Jodie Whittaker's accent has caused problems for people across the pond.
When she appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the subtitles didn't exactly go to plan.

Of course, in this day and age of social media, the screen shot was soon shared on Twitter, and has now been shared thousands of times.
