Travelling through space and time in a police box requires white skin, according to several Internet morons today. As Ncuti Gatwa began his stint as the new Doctor, lots of angry idiots have spent …
Yeah I remember reading similar headlines when Jodie was announced as the next Doctor. Same assholes, different day. I’m more concerned that the first few episodes have had terrible writing.
Space Babies was OK. I liked the bit where the Doctor stared dead into the camera and explained the allegory. That was funny.
The rest have been a load of wank. I had hoped that a bit of time off might have curbed some of RTD’s excesses, but alas.
And Moff’s script just seemed … tired. Like he just couldn’t do it any more. Blah blah, arms suppliers are bad, fish fingers and custard, love will save the day, something something atheism, … .
There’s always going to be dickheads on the internet, and I think in this case it’s a very small group and of that group you could probably count on one had that are actually Dr. Who fans, if there’s any at all.
If it were a significant percentage of fans then there might be something to talk about. But this seems another case of people that don’t know anything about a show and just seeing a black actor being cast in a role what was previously played by a white actor and making racist hay.
Anyone that knows anything about Dr. Who knows the established lore allows any actor of any race or gender can play the part.

Yeah, I feel the same way.
