I thought David Tennant was probably the best Doctor after Tom Baker, but I wont’ be watching this travesty.
This is the moment David Tennant’s Doctor Who was scolded by a transgender character for calling an alien ‘him’ during the first 60th Anniversary special.
The character was called out by the daughter of former companion Donna Noble for referring to an adorable fluffy creature called Beep The Meep as ‘him’.
Rose, who is played by transgender actress, Yasmin Finney, 19, questioned the Doctor’s assumption that the alien was a ‘he’, asking him: ‘You’re assuming he as a pronoun?’
The appropriate response being a good hard slap followed by ‘oh, do fuck off!’
No, I definitely won’t be wasting time watching this risible garbage.
Not all viewers however praised the scene, with the National Education Trust saying that it promoted a ‘cult of gender ideology’ for young people watching the TV show.
The Trust wrote on X, formerly Twitter,: ‘The whole episode is dedicated to promoting the cult of gender ideology. Many vulnerable children watch Dr Who – this is dreadful propaganda from the BBC yet again.’
Well, it’s the BBC, what do we expect? This is the organisation that, having dug itself a hole, hires in a JCB to complete the job.
Well look at the arse writing it !!!
No surprises there from the Buggery Broadcasting Company. Bring back William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton!
You’ll have a job. They are dead.
A genuine use for AI.
And then do Harry Palmer please!
And a few more Bond movies by that milkman…
Unfortunately missed out on reading the article in advance. But yes, that was the point at which I stopped watching.
It’s a shame actually as without that line and the general ‘pro Trans’ undercurrent that was shoehorned in, I think you’d have enjoyed it – certainly among the best things they have done since the end of Tennent’s first era but Russell T Davies has hitched his colours firmly to the big Trans mast, and swallows the bullshit hook, line and sinker,
‘Vorwarts , Schnell!!!’ as their ideological forebears from 1930s/ 40s Germany would have said…
What’s odd is that there is already an undercurrent of a backlash building and he, along with the BBC are behind that curve.
Why adults want to watch children’s “entertainment” I’ll never know. Superman, Spiderman, Dr Who, The Hulk, etc. I thought most of it was shite when I was a kid, let alone an adult.
More evidence of the infantilisation of adults. Coupled with feminisation.
Probably because, despite being aimed primarily at children, there was always an undercurrent aimed at adults. This is even the case with programmes aimed at pre-schoolers as the programme makers were aware that adults would be watching along with the children. I would always have put Dr Who in the family entertainment camp.
Fair enough. Even I make an exception for Tom and Jerry 🙂
