Why Is Doctor Who So Gay? Because so Are His Current Creators
The BBC last week announced the forthcoming launch of a new cartoon version of the once-popular sci-fi series Doctor Who to be broadcast on their ‘TV for toddlers’ channel CBeebies. But will this latest addition to the Whoniverse really end up being suitable for children at all? Not to judge by the live-action parent programme, which has now become nothing but far-Left queer propaganda. The latest ultra-gay series of Doctor Who has not long ended, with a characteristically unwatchable (so much so I didn’t watch it) finale themed to tie in with May’s Eurovision Song Contest, the two being the twin highest-camp television events of the BBC’s whole annual schedule: at least to Russell T. Davies, the serial’s militant pink showrunner.
As a child, Davies was rejected by his straight schoolboy peers for liking queers, but found solace in being a Doctor Who uber-fan, who needily saw in the main character’s curious adventures with a succession of younger men inside a locked phone-box some weird allegory for his own outsider status. Once blossomed into a full-grown adult gay, as I have shown previously here, Davies appears to have seen fit to gain his revenge upon mainstream heteronormative schoolkids everywhere by selfishly giving the whole franchise a bad case of ideological Space-AIDS – a disease for which there is no known cure but probable cancellation of the whole damn thing.

The whole Dr Who farrago is but a microcosm of the appalling BBC we have been left with. They (the BBC) are living out their last days, squeezing the very last drops of ‘edginess’ from whatever they touch. National Treasure to National Embarrassment in just a few decades.
It will surely soon be gone in its current form. Few outside the M25 will mourn their demise.
But surely, the peak of Davies’s Dr Who antics was with the David Tennant / Billie Piper series that fizzed with sexual tension – they clearly fancied the pants off each other but couldn’t do anything about it.
Yes! I loved The Tennant era, as well as Christopher Eccleston and later on Matt Whatsisname. Nothing will ever top that so they should just give up trying if you ask me..
Tom Baker topped all of those. Dr Who started to lose its magic when TB left. The modern incarnation of it, from Eccleston onwards, always gave me the impression that the stories were made up as they went along. Crap writing with crap acting, *especially* from the permanent over-actor who is David Tennant.
I liked Tom Baker best, too, and thought he had a believable working relationship with his assistant Romana.
The Rwandan Ncuti Gatwa is just repulsive.
The irony is that Tennant would have suited being the Doctor nowadays, given he’s such an epic woketard ( he could have had a ‘Woketardis’ and had it painted rainbow colours ) and his kid is ‘non-binary/trans’. He’s fully onboard with all this gender ideology/child mutilation-cult tripe.
As the writer said, he didn’t watch this rubbish. Neither have I. The bbc is funded by us but they refuse to make anything watchable. One gay writer has a life tenure to ruin the channel.
Tom Baker has said that he played the Doctor as the alien that the Doctor was. Not being human, the Doctor didn’t act exactly like humans. Where a plot of a story was too much like one that is familiar in human affairs, it failed to excite much interest. The scriptwriter of The Deadly Assassin replicated the story of The Manchurian Candidate in the characters of Doctor Who. The aliens, the Galifreyans, were made merely human, to the detriment of the story. Scriptwriters and producers of the pre-millennium series included a wide variety of subject matter, such as animal liberation and nuclear disarmament in their stories. But these were one-offs. Because they were one-offs, they could even anticipate later films, such as The Matrix. The producer of Lion’s Gate based this story on his interest in the Chinese book of divination, the I-Ching. The result was an unusual story. So much so that one of the actors, the late Clifford Rose, couldn’t understand it. But, like other private interests of the other scriptwriters and producers, this didn’t become a persistent feature of the entire series. The producers of the pre-millennium series changed quite frequently, leading to a new direction for… Read more »
Victimhood is a weapon, the only one that I’m aware of that is not only socially acceptable these days but actually gives you social status if you wield it.
In an earlier time that I can still remember, acting a victim was seen for the passive-aggressive device it is and so was not acceptable and not encouraged.
I think this flipped in a big way in the UK with Princess Diana. She, more than any public figure I can think of, glorified weakness and was so good at exploiting it that she used her own victimhood to turn the country against the rest of the monarchy. When she died, it was like a floodgate opened and the entire country seemed finally released to be able to behave hysterically.
And ever since it seems as if it’s been a race to see who is the bigger victim, who has the biggest grievance and who is proudest of their disorder and who can confect the most “hate” towards themselves so they can win the victimhood stakes.
Victimhood is a weapon, the only one that I’m aware of that is not only socially acceptable these days but actually gives you social status if you wield it. I can assure you that abusing autists is as popular a sport as ever and that everyone still agrees that this is the right and proper thing to do¹. ¹ As happened on Friday: Some guy who had likely had more acceleration powder than was good for him managed to work himself into some kind of paranoid frenzy about what I must be up to because I repeatedly went into the garden of a certain pub where he happened to be sitting idly (occupied a chair without consuming anything) in order to have a cigarette while drinking a pint. This culminated in him running after me in order to should random threats of physcial violence at me and then following me into the pub to continue this. Upon being asked to leave me alone, he became even more shouty to the tune of how I could dare to talk to him. I then left him standing and went to the loo for a piss. I didn’t see him when I came… Read more »
Why did they throw you out?
I have absolutely no idea. Or at least, no idea which would make any sense to me beyond that the guy I talked to pretty obviously didn’t want to be bothered with this and this was the easiest “generally acceptable” way to ensure that he wouldn’t have to, cf right and proper thing to do.
Addition: This was certainly because of something I did and shouldn’t have done, however, I have absolutely no idea what this was and my idea of what I’m doing and other people’s ideas of what I must be trying to do often differ very significantly.
Easier to eject the sane person rather than the deranged one?
I think you have made a very fair assessment of that whole situation. The cult worship of Diana reached ever more creepy levels, in my view. I remember reading that she tricked Charles by pretending to be interested in all the outdoor activities and countryside he loved, but after they were married, she showed that she was mostly interested in shopping and fashion, and bored by countryside things.
When news of her death broke, a local punk band in the town I was living in at that time spontaneously chose to rename itself to Dianagotchi (at the height of the Tamagotchi craze).
Insofar she tricked him with something, my personal and absolutely unqualified opinion on that would be it must have been her vow of maritial fidelity. Crashing oneself into the wall of a tunnel while on a mad flight from people with cameras to avoid being depicted together with “another male acquaintance” is certainly a very special way to end one’s life.
He put a gay in Torchwood too, though I actually thought that was reasonably well done as a series.
Well doesn’t this just support what was recently shared on here about the BBC and other channels embedding government agendas and narratives within their programmes? And as an aside, I noticed this yesterday with the Daily Mail article about ‘Woke Waste’, something that Charlotte Gill has done extensive work on in exposing for ages now. It was Lewis Brackpool, whom I shared on here the day before the Telegraph article, who broke this story due to his FOI request. What’s happening is MSM journalists are trawling through Twitter and harvesting the hard work of ‘citizen journalists’ and researchers using that platform, then passing off this work as their own to get all the glory. This is very underhand and I’m not surprised people are miffed. MSM journalists should be at least giving credit where it’s due. Well said, Lewis; ”Yesterday, a Telegraph journalist lifted a story I broke, exposing how the UK government worked with major broadcasters to embed its narratives into fictional television. Despite the journalist reaching out to others for comment, I wasn’t credited once. Now, that same journalist has run a headline using Charlotte Gill’s work, again, without crediting her. While it’s affirming to know we’re often… Read more »
Those Who Know Best pretend that the closet is bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside.
In the moist darkness of the closet (or the TARDIS) it’s easy to imagine all the other people ‘out there’ need relentless therapy to align with your particular world view.
This insight applies to politicians and the Establishment too, enabling such terms as ‘false consciousness’, gammons, and white van man to be used as slurs.
I wish I had left this until this evening. It is not breakfast reading.
Why constantly refer to such things as the “LGBTQ community” and the “black community” as if they are an entirely separate and different species to everyone else – but yet harangue us constantly to be inclusive and accept everyone as equals?
I personally couldn’t care less if Dr Who is black or gay as long as he was chosen because someone thought he would be a good Dr Who and NOT because he’s black or gay. Once chosen, why not encourage him to dress and act relatively normally, as most gay people do, rather than dressing like a 5 year old and flapping about the place like a lunatic?
Bearing in mind that Waris Hussein is a gay Muslim (Queen’s College graduate), I wonder whether Hamas would welcome him to Palestine to promote “TV for toddlers” to the local schools.
Praying that season 3 of Strange New Worlds focuses on the action, and when do the mini skirts start happening? If you remember the Original Series, the ladies were all wearing mini skirts. It would be fun to see the producers pull it off(so to speak) without the feminists crying that the show needs to be updated for the times.
Exterminate. Exterminate!
