“Absolutely Not”: Russell T. Davies Responds to the Backlash Against Ncuti Gatwa’s ‘Doctor Who’
Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies responded to the backlash against Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor. Find out what he said here.
Doctor Whois back, and Ncuti Gatwa's titular Time Lord has returned to the helm of his TARDIS for more timey-wimey adventures. The mystery surrounding Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson) continues, new and exciting planets are ready to be explored, and The Doctor has a brand-new companion by his side, Belinda (Varada Sethu). However, it seems that, despite all this, many people can't quite shake the feeling that they don't like seeing the hero crying. Yes, Gatwa's incarnation of the sci-fi icon is much more attuned to his emotions than other iterations, but while the walls of toxic masculinity are breaking down, there has been no better time for this change.
