Wait, Bill's gay? I hadn't noticed. Why was this essential piece of information that sums up everything about her as a person not repeatedly stated in all of her first few episodes?! How are we supposed to gain any affection for a new character if we don't know which genitals she prefers?!

And yes, 'gay' as an insult did seem acceptable in the mid 2000s, which is when the new series started. Fortunately times keep changing!

Funnyfarmer · 17/05/2017 11:22

Hard to believe such a short while ago it was exeptable especially as the head writer was gay himself.
My dd watched some classic only fools and horses with me and was actually shocked and the mild racism, homophobia and sexism what was deemed funny in the mid 80's. In our life time. We probably never battered an eye lid back then.

It is strange! Captain jack was shown as bisexual although there was more to him than that - bill Potts has no character, no background and no history which is why she is boring.

'That's so Gay' has never been in my vocabulary, although i heard it a lot from some terribly right-on millenials.

QuiQuaiQuod · 17/05/2017 16:15

When DC was at infant school, the term 'you're so gay' was banded about a lot by the tiddlers! Thankfully notby DC.

Funny we love dads army here too and there was amild rascist reference to Chinese people last week. It was 'of it's time' though as its a programme from my own childhood which I never batted an eyelid at then.

Bill's gay eh? PLEASE remind me again Grin Wink.

Rusty I saw a pic of Hilda sans rollers and slippers and hairnet, all dolled up and saw the resemblance then!

QuiQuaiQuod · 17/05/2017 16:17

and I think in McCoys 'BAttlefiled' theres a bit of a Chinese 'reference' too (sorry, spoilers agin!!)

Battlefield, even. great story though. Our favourite McCoy, though we still mneed to see some others in the order they go. Tardis

Will miss Capaldi he's great when he gets a good script.

I vote for Damien Moloney as the next Dr.

iklboo · 17/05/2017 19:44

Damien Molony was brilliant in Being Human. His 'Hal going on a rampage' made me come over all necessary. I can't listen to Puttin' On The Ritz the same since.

SoupDragon · 17/05/2017 20:05

I've just sat with DD as she watched this week's episode and I didn't notice Bill announcing her sexuality.

Please ignore that; posted in error.

Thats true, she didnt mention it this week I think, this week it was that she is black. (when she was speaking to the blue guy about being discriminated against)

Funnyfarmer · 19/05/2017 11:24

I think I know who is in the vault

coldcanary · 19/05/2017 13:21

Who do you think it is? I thought it was the cybermen but they don't play the piano so now I think it's the Master/Missy.

Funnyfarmer · 19/05/2017 14:24

Don't really want to say. Because I read it on a spoiler page. Don't know how true it is

But if it is true don't want to spoil it for anyone. If anyone wants to know private message me

Anyone watch tonight? I was frustrated and bored in equal measure; I found it so confusing that I didn't understand enough of what was happening to know if or when to worry...

SynysterGates · 20/05/2017 22:39

It annoyed me
Was all over the place

Funnyfarmer · 20/05/2017 23:02

It was very Moffatie. I think I'm starting to understand Moffats way of thinking because it did actually meme sense to me. Obviously a lot more story to unflod so much of it won't make just yet. I did enjoy it and I'm intrigued to see where it's going

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 20/05/2017 23:51

I really liked it!

MadamePomfrey · 20/05/2017 23:59

I was a bit Hmm about who's in the vault unless there is an extra twist it all seemed a bit obvious! But I'm interested to see where the overall story goes!
