Maybe I'm naive but I just think the fact that the Doctor is (possibly) the only character on TV who can now be played by literally anyone (of any race/gender) is a beautiful thing that should be celebrated.
Ncuti Gatwa is the first openly queer Black actor to take on the role of the core Doctor.
“I feel like anyone that has a problem with someone who’s not a straight white man playing this character, you’re not really, truly a fan of the show," he says. wp.me/pc8uak-1lE2Ic

Thinking about how, if Merlin (the series) aired today, the actress who played Guinevere would have faced a lot of racist backlash. Times used to be easier, mehn.

My issue with David Walliams is that he threatened suicide. Like the same way an abusive boyfriend does when you say you’re leaving and it speaks to his guilt in my opinion. Weird that ITV did the deep dive even though they’re the ones who employed him.

Tell me, why have you included two gay men who have no actual allegations against them beyond dating much younger, but still decidedly adult men, rather than any straight men who have, in fact, preyed on teenagers? Nooooot a great look.

What will they do if Walliam's best mate turns out to be a wrong'un too, remove every episode from the Husbands of River Song to Twice Upon a Time?

Russell Brands supporters all have one thing in common.
They are really really dumb.

Baffles me to see how many people think it's easy to get somebody convicted for rape just by making it up. You can barely get them done for actually raping you.
Matt Bate retweeted
Rape.
What's the real reason why Russell Brand was convicted??
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Russell Brand was convicted by a jury of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault against four women between 2004 and 2009. He was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison.

The Series 4 DOCTOR WHO (2008) opening is peak Murray Gold. Those huge orchestral hits, the increasingly frantic strings and the TARDIS hurtling through that chaotic vortex make the whole thing feel like a full-blown cosmic event.

'Whatever women wear, wherever they go, indeed whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no' says Judge Bennathan in the sentencing of Russell Brand.
Even though this should be common sense, it feels so moving to hear it said today
His tenth new era this decade. 🤣
🤝 Meet the Doctor – and his new TARDIS team: bgfn.sh/8DA. A new era begins for Paul McGann, with Natalie Gumede and Sam Stafford, on 12 November 2026.

Russell Brand won’t see your tweets supporting him
But everyone else can see you supporting a rapist
