They just don't know when to shut their traps do they.
Here some quotes in the New York Times from Bubble from Ab Fab.
“I’m in Peter’s costume. I’m literally in his shoes. If someone is devastated at the loss of him, that’s brilliant, because it just means the show is loved. If the fact that I’m a woman is an issue, that’s their issue. I can’t even begin to debate that
I know I got the role on the merits,” Ms. Whittaker said more sternly. “I didn’t get handed it. I don’t play a gender.”
Ooooh touched a nerved there. Does she actually think that ANYONE would think she got this role on merit? Anymore than they thought Michelle Gomez got the role of the Master on merit and not because Moffat was a spineless worm who sold the franchise out, and cast his friend?
Here are some quotes from Bubble's co-star, Mandip Gill.
Mandip Gill, who joins the show this season as Yasmin Khan, a young companion to the Doctor, said she also assumed that a role on “Doctor Who” was an unattainable goal.
Being a woman of South Asian ancestry, she said, “I never really thought it was open to me.”
Even when she was told that producers specifically wanted a South Asian actor who spoke with a Northern British accent, Ms. Gill said she was skeptical. “Have they heard me?” she said, playing up her Leeds dialect. “They don’t want me in a Marvel film with my accent, let’s be honest.”
WOW she managed to insult Doctor Who's fandom, its previous production teams by making out they'd never cast an Asian actress, and admit that she was hired BECAUSE she was Asian at the same time. Genius marketing
Did the self loathing fanboy cucks who defend this drivel ever actually like Doctor Who?
