Travel through time & space to the planet Earth in 2017 where THESE THINGS SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE The only issue I have is that the BBC have targets to achieve in the sphere of appointing the correct quotas of one-legged gay black Muslim Quidditch fans. This seems like a box ticked for the quotas. Certainly they achieved their target for Teuchter newsreaders and weather presenters ages ago. I'm not into Doctor Who and don't watch it. I love James Bond though, and wouldn't care if the next one was black, orange or lime coloured, had the Pope tattooed on their arse or prayed to Mecca between takes....or if they were female... as long as they got the gig not because they ticked a diversity quota box, but purely because the producers thought they were the best actor up for the role.

The absurdity of people getting their knickers in a twist about a fictional, two-hearted Alien character's sexuality would be amusing, if it wasn't rooted in an archaic misogyny that's destined - along with those holding such beliefs - for the dustbin of history.

I thought she was great in that, also - but surpassed THAT performance with the one in the third episode. (I didnae see the middle one) ETA; This is an Alien that replicates (as we've all seen and happily went along with for decades...) not by having 'sex' but by going through a transformation into another identity. So the gender thing is irrelevant. The door's wide open for the role to be filled by a Mandarin duck in the next series. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-40016817 Edited July 17, 2017 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabuddies Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 About 10 years ago a friends adopted niece applied to the BBC. She seemed very confident of a job and she got one at first interview. As she later said the BBC couldn't turn down a disabled black lesbian orphan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
