He's been doing weird vanity projects for years. Documentaries on kickboxing, racing, and music. He's got the clout to make what he likes so that's what he does.

This is how brainwashing and Propaganda work best when the subject is so asleep that they don't realize what's being drummed into their heads, and the libs dare to be the ones that call themselves woke.
So tell us then where the gay couple was in every single episode RTD oversaw??This is how brainwashing and Propaganda work best when the subject is so asleep that they don't realize what's being drummed into their heads, and the libs dare to be the ones that call themselves woke.
There is no brainwashing or propaganda. Just bigots who see gays everywhere.
You have missed out - Matt Smith had some fantastic episodes as the Doctor and it had Amy Pond, nom nom nom!!!

Which doctor?
Ncuti Gatwa is taller than several of the other male doctors, he's got a more muscular build than several of them, and he's not as slim as some of them, or as "wide" in comparison to height.
He's probably more muscular than most of the previous actors, about the only difference between him and some of the ones pre reboot is you can easily find pictures of him in other roles, and from outside of his other roles prior to him being in Who.
In terms of physical build he's well within the "range" of the others.
As a minor aside, this discussion has led me to looking into several of the old Who actors and what their careers where before they became the doctor and realising how many of them did it relatively early in their acting careers, for example Tom Baker had only about half a dozen roles in episodes of TV and 3 film roles (one just as "minor character") prior to him becoming Doctor who, on top of a few years in theatre.

Still waiting to hear about the gay couples in every single RTD episode. Apart from Captain Jack, I'm struggling to think of any at all.
@dymetrie and I were talking about just this a couple of days ago. From my time watching Doctor Who which started with Jon Pertwee, the only actor I've really had any experience of before they were cast as the Doctor was Pete Davison and that was from seeing him as Tristan on All Creatures. I think that apart from him, my reaction has always been the same throughout the original and the 2005 series... "Who?".
height still embues authority in many situations - napoleon/cruise excepted,
but looks like someone already did the comparison V and Ncuti is 10cm short , I had been thinking capaldi/tenant/ecleston as the comparison points ( ... and rtd from interview is tall himself which was why i considered it ) Ncutis a slimish build like them.
Dr Who and Companion Heights
I suppose height itself has as much right to be included in the Who diversity remit;
'diversity' of the principal companion could be an interesting new frontier, Who is behind Strictly in that respect, RTD's probably one step ahead of me.
Funnily enough the whole Napoleon thing is a bit of a myth really , he was around 5ft 6, which was actually about average height for the time. The whole he was short thing was pretty much just a form of propaganda created by others to diminish him rather than an actual truth. Cruise on the other hand, is dinky

Currently I just can't imagine him as the doctor because all I can visualise is him in Sex Education and that character would not a good doctor make. Honestly, the writing is probably 70% and the actor the other 30%. They need to sort out the writing before we get too caught up in the acting.
You think i'm going to go through dozens of episodes of dross to pick out all the moments? You got to be ******* joking! It's all there, just pick a random episode and watch it, you love it so much it can't be so hard for you
So really what you are saying is you were talking nonsense and there aren't gay couples in every single episode! For example Love and Monsters, Fear Her Doctors Daughter, Dale.
Where are the gays in those episodes. If they are in every episode?

Why would it even matter if there were gay couples in every episode? What year is this?

The year of the Tories! You know the year of free speech and anti cancel culture. Unless you count minorities, gays, disabled etc etc. Ah just realised they are all minority groups.Why would it even matter if there were gay couples in every episode? What year is this?

Well, it's about the context isnt it. It's difficult to write a gay role in to such a program that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb i guess. Well, they make it look difficult anyway
As for couples.....not many. Individuals though, there were a few:

Queer representation in Doctor Who
The portrayal and representation of queer identities in the Doctor Who universe affects how many fans experience Doctor Who. (DOC: LGBTQ In The Worlds Of Doctor Who, REF: Queers Dig Time Lords) It has been considered an important issue by 21st century showrunners Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat...

In the RTD controlled episodes, there's only one mentioned there in Doctor Who and that's Captain Jack. You'd think that a site like that would be all over it if there were gay characters or couples in every single RTD episode but strangely enough, they don't mention them.
Torchwood is a different matter but that's a different show, aimed at an adult audience with a lead cast member who is an alien who doesn't draw the line anywhere.
It's not. See above.
That's the point, even if they were there (they're not), it wouldn't matter.Why would it even matter if there were gay couples in every episode? What year is this?

Indeed, I'm assuming that's accurate as I'm not about to watch all the episodes to cross check it
It doesn't but the poster I was responding to made a point of claiming there was a gay couple in every RTD episode and made out like that's a reason for him no longer watching. But he couldn't prove or back up his claims.Why would it even matter if there were gay couples in every episode? What year is this?
yea thats why he got in trouble init for exposing himself
it matters in terms of how the gay characters are portrayed - rtd didn't win any award for It's a sin -
which, before I turned it off, I thought, misrepresented at least the UK opinion towards gays at that time, playing up to the woke genx belief that gays had been ostracized then, and diversity was a new invention;
there was a lot of fear of AIDS across both straight&gay demographics ... covid has been counteracted quickly in comparison, versus lifelong medication/stigma for hiv infected folks;
maybe RTD was reflecting USA homophobic opinion for dramatic effect.
