So, everyone remember when the Wellingborough Tories produced a leaflet, attacking Doctor Who as 'activism', as part of their campaigning? Now it's Don Valley's turn when their MP Nick Fletcher said this: Which has lead to reactions like this: Absolute idiots! Their logic is beyond stupidity.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

So, everyone remember when the Wellingborough Tories produced a leaflet, attacking Doctor Who as 'activism', as part of their campaigning? Now it's Don Valley's turn when their MP Nick Fletcher said this: Which has lead to reactions like this: This is just such a load of rubbish: yes, boys need positive role models that they can aspire to but they haven’t been “taken away” from them. They’ve been shared with others. And it isn’t as though there aren’t enough male characters about the place for them. I work with a lot of kids from single-parent families (and it’s almost always the dad who isn’t present) and they still manage to find characters that they can play as at recess and lunch time. They still have the branded bags and lunch boxes of male characters. What they lack are positive male role models in their own lives. And that predates Ghostbusters: Answer The Call.

Ironically this is the biggest amount of publicity the series has had in years.

Growing up, most of my role models were male. Winnetou, Tarzan, James Kirk, Jupiter Jones...
There just were no cool female ones around (apart from Pippi Longstockings).
I did not care. I just took the ones I wanted.
And see how I turned out. Living a life of crime on the mean streets of rural village Germany.

Eric Roberts as the Mastah on TV again would be sublime.
“BOOT how? You were … let’s see… trapped in the Eye of Harmony and then…” “Blah blah blah, I’m the Mastah, roll with it Doctah”.

More news on the Specials and we have the name of the female playwright for the pirate episode, Ella Road.
Interestingly, the previous rumour was half-wrong: she's not Chinese. Furthermore, she's a graduate of BBC Drama Writers Programme 2019/20, which is run by BBC Writersroom - I mention this because you may also remember an announcement that a writer for S13 had come up through another BBC scheme, a bursary with ScreenSkills. It's possible Road is our mystery winner from that.
