In 2018, 15 female actors and creators from Doctor Who shared #MeToo stories at Gallifrey One. I highly recommend folks revisit this detailed account (left) in light of this latest news (right). whovianfeminism.tumblr.com/post/171100560

I have always loved that capitalism and the treatment of lives as commodities are embedded in the sci-fi elements; it's not just the backdrop here. #DoctorWhoBlackout

This ep gets stick from some quarters for being too political, but *of course* it’s political: it’s a story about a black woman travelling into her country’s past, to a time and a place where some Black people were still literally the *property* of white people #DoctorWhoBlackout

All storytelling is political. Who you put in a story is a political choice, who you leave out is a political choice. Where you put the camera is a political choice. If you don’t notice any politics in a show, it’s likely bc those politics align with your own #DoctorWhoBlackout

Was I unexpectedly obsessed with the way Peter Capaldi said the word “tattoo” in Face the Raven? Yes. Did I put another important tattoo in Thin Ice just to hear him say it again? You can’t prove anything #DoctorWhoBlackout

So this scene of Twelve reading to the kids? It was just written as background action, but the director wanted to hear him so they had Peter read this ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING folk story called Struwwelpeter. Twelve going in hard to traumatise the homeless kids 😅 #DoctorWhoBlackout

I love what Hayley Nebauer did with Bill’s costume in this ep. Bill gets a sumptuous Regency ensemble but it’s very believably styled by a young woman of 2017 – relaxed and unbuttoned. Bill is having fun. She’s made it her own. #DoctorWhoBlackout

Do you know how thrilled I was to have (real life) details like acrobats & sword-swallowers?? Non-essential stuff like this got cut from Face the Raven left right & centre bc my ep was at the end of the season when the budget was tight. Thin Ice made up for it #DoctorWhoBlackout

It was THE MOST FUN to write Bill enjoying herself at the fair, and even more fun to write the Doctor enjoying her enjoyment. Twelve had so much darkness on his plate but Bill brought out his lightness and warmth. Which of course Peter played so beautifully 😭 #DoctorWhoBlackout

It’s important to donate both to groups working towards long term systemic change and those meeting immediate needs during this time of protest – particularly bail funds. This site splits your donation between bail funds: secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_fu #DoctorWhoBlackout
