The thing that really annoys me is that people seem to have short memories.
In 2005 NuWho immediately split the fanbase by being woke. “That’ll never work, he’s gay and she’s an alien” and the word “gay” being in every single one of Davies’ scripts led to the mocking label of his “gay agenda.” He even acknowledged it!
Every critic these days, from Critical Drinker to Geeks & Gamers, talks about how NuWho is now a woke abomination but forget it eagerly adopted it from the FIRST STORY.
I don’t remember this. Is this the first episode or something
Yep, Rose in 2005. From then on, all Davies’ scripts had the word “gay” in them. There were rumours of a gay agenda, to which Davies replied ‘If there is a gay agenda it is to remind the world that gay people exist.”
Before the show started Davies declared “No I will not make the Doctor gay” (he has now in 2024 NuWho).
That's why I prefer Matt Smith era more.
