Okay, I might be making myself a target here, but I don’t like misinformation and I’ve been seeing this frequently now that loads of people are talking about The Celestial Toymaker:

The character is NOT in yellow-face.

They did not alter his skin tone to try to appear Asian. They did nothing to his physical features, such as his eyes, to try to appear Asian. He does nothing with his voice that tries to emulate any kind of accent. His skin, his voice, his everything, is just Michael Gough.

Please compare him to the other white characters:

Same skin color as them. He is clearly not made up to look like anything other than what he is. The only makeup here is stage makeup that you can’t even see.

Now compare to Michael Gough outside of this role:

Exactly the same as he is as the Toymaker.

The only undeniably Asian thing here is his outfit, which certainly isn’t enough to make the claim that he himself was supposed to be. The Toymaker’s entire realm is made up of a variety of things from Earth that he as a godlike alien entity has no connection to.

(As an aside, to cover my bases, I’ve also been hearing that “celestial” was a derogatory term towards Asians and that therefore he must have been meant to be himself and so the entire character is a racist concept, but I doubt the creators were thinking anything besides “otherworldly”, “ethereal”, or “exalted” and so on when they used the word, and if they were, then at the very worst it would be a play on words about his outfit — not his race — that may have been in poor taste, but not malicious. Old things can be outdated and even wrong without bad intent. You’ve got to give people some grace and the benefit of the doubt, especially when they’re not around to defend themselves for being products of their own time.)

If the only concrete thing you have to argue against the character is his clothing, that’s not yellow-face. All it takes is one look at any of his in-color set photos to see what he looks like — although it shouldn’t even be necessary, because in black and white it’s still obvious he’s not been made up to look any different.

TLDR: The Toymaker was not meant to be Asian, and Michael Gough was not in yellow-face.

#preparing to be torn limb from limb for this but i do NOT want people who are wrong to keep spreading it and making others want to avoid it #people have a hard enough time wanting to engage with 60s who as it is and stuff like this just makes it worse #i’m very protective of this era of the show and i can’t watch this keep happening without saying something to defend it #classic who #the celestial toymaker #celestial toymaker #michael gough #rant #also. we know what it looked like when the bbc used yellow-face back then and um. this sure ain’t it.

'Call it How Neil Patrick Harris Met Your Favorite British Time Travel Show.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies tells EW that the American actor was completely unfamiliar with the beloved science fiction series when the executive producer approached Harris about playing a villain called The Toymaker on this Saturday's final 60th anniversary special episode, "The Giggle."

"He’d never heard of it in his life, bless him," Davies says with a laugh. "I was lucky enough to work with the great man on a show called It’s a Sin, about the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, and working with him was such a joy. The Toymaker, he's kind of the god of games, so he shuffles cards, he does magic tricks, and all of that fits Neil Patrick Harris. If you go through agents, they often tell you to go away. I was able to send just a text saying, 'Do you fancy reading this?' He read it and literally phoned me up going, 'Let me get this right, so the Doctor’s an alien, right?' I was like, 'Oh my god, you really have never heard of Doctor Who!' But he couldn’t resist it, and he came to Cardiff, and we had the most spectacular time."

The Toymaker first appeared on the show back in the '60s, when the character was portrayed by Michael Gough and the Doctor was played by William Hartnell. This time around, Harris' villain will face off against David Tennant and Catherine Tate, who are reprising their respective roles of the Doctor and Donna Noble for the three anniversary episodes after many years away from the show. Davies explains that, "it's very hard to find the villain who can match David Tennant and Catherine Tate. To have a character who can be in danger of defeating those two is very hard to find. Sometimes on Doctor Who, you need armies of a thousand robots who could do that. This is just one person, so casting them was absolutely crucial and this becomes a pivotal event in the Doctor’s life. We needed that man, and, god, we had a glorious time. It’s so lovely working with Neil. When I text him now, [we ask], what’s our third project together? We’ve got to keep going!"

Tennant agrees that Davies made the right choice in casting Harris as the episode's villain.

"Oh, he’s good," the actor says. "I don’t quite know if he knew what to expect, but he dived in with such gusto and brio. This part requires a lot of skill sets and Neil turns up with them all. I don’t want to give away too much about what might be required of the Toymaker, but you need a sort of an all-round entertainer to play that part and a very good actor, so there aren’t a lot of people who could have ticked all the boxes required. We were really excited when Neil said 'yes,' and actually it’s impossible to imagine who else it might have been. He’s a sort of theater animal, so he’s got that bit of graft about him that my Scottish Presbyterian soul rather enjoys being around. And he’s got a twinkle in his eye, which is sort of the combination of elements that you need for Doctor Who, I think."'
