Who hated Jodie for being a woman, who hate Ncuti for being black and gay, who hate non-white actors in prominent roles in the show, who hate disabled actors in prominent roles in the show, who hated DW being trans- inclusive. Who just constantly drip negativity about the show. If they hate it that much why don't they just fucking turn the TV off and go and do something more interesting instead. -- Andy Leighton => andyl@azaal.plus.com "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!" - Douglas Adams
