I am not going to lie to you. When Russell told me that we were putting a ramp in the TARDIS, I cried. I did. He actually told me about a fan who had contacted him, who was a wheelchair user, and said how much he admired Russell’s work. He said, “Even though I can’t get in the TARDIS, because it’s not wheelchair accessible, I just love it.” And Russell was like, “So, we change that instantly. We change that.” When he told me that story, that really hit me straight in the heart. I know what that will mean for the disabled community, and many disabled Whovians who haven’t had that. -Ruth Madeley

LADS I DON'T THINK YOU REALISE HOW AMAZING SHIRLEY ANNE BINGHAM IS

Doctor Who, one of the biggest TV shows in the country, just showed an ambulatory wheelchair user getting out of her wheelchair to transfer to a desk chair. They showed a disabled person getting up out of her wheelchair. On national television.

AND THEY EVEN BUILT IT INTO THE SCRIPT!!!

They don't just mention it in passing, they write it into a tirade of hate which is explicitly written to be extreme, unfair, and absolutely wrong.

This is huge.

Ruth Madeley: "For every disabled kid who couldn't get into the Tardis, this ramp is forever yours."

That's how he hid himself from me, because I should have sensed there was another Time Lord on Earth. // Screen after screen after screen. And every type of screen. Everyone and everywhere, he's inside 'em all.

I’m here to report that Macbeth was truly one of - if not the best - plays I’ve ever seen. It was magically intense from start to finish and David Tennant was honestly on top form. Being so close to him and feeling his emotion as he acted is a state of euphoria I can’t even describe. This was the closeness for reference:

The next day, after we both experienced the play of a lifetime, me and my bestie @kottekonst took a trip to Camden Market where we visited some of the Doctor Who 60th filming locations - to stand in the spot Bernard Cribbins performed his last stand as Wilfred Mott was incredible.

And to top it all off - as I was getting off the train, I spotted Ruth Madeley who played Shirley in the 60th specials. Then we both watched the Tenth/Fourteenth Doctor in Macbeth, none other than DT. AND THEN my bestie spotted Peter Capaldi (?!) getting into a lift after the theatre. Coincidence? Magic? Who knows.

#it’s been a magical few days to say the least #and now I have two weeks with my bestie #can I hear a wahoo #david tennant #doctor who #fourteenth doctor #ruth madeley #peter capaldi #Macbeth #bernard cribbins #wilfred mott

The right-wing media: everything is the fault of trans people (esp. trans women), disabled people, and refugees. Also more widely, all LGBT+ people and every POC who isn't a Tory party cabinet member. Oh, and also Scottish people.

Russell T Davies: here is a young trans woman of colour, a disabled scientist who's an ambulatory wheelchair user and has rockets and stun-darts in her wheelchair, and a glorious new Doctor who's played by a gay refugee originally from Rwanda. They are all unbelievably awesome and are in various ways saving the world. Any questions?

Also RTD: oh and also this other Doctor (who is played by a vocally left-wing Scottish man who's very supportive to his trans kid and is generally an LGBT+ ally) is going to demonstrate that sometimes mentally ill people need to rest rather than being constantly told that working is the cure for everything. Just so you know.

The role representation is playing in these specials is absolutely wonderful. Not only gender, pronouns, sexuality but also disability. And all of it is staring at you right in the face, you can't miss it, you can't ignore it, you can't forget about it.

Behind the Scenes of The Giggle - Part Two

Excerpt from Benjamin Cook's article in DWM 599:

On a studio backlot somewhere in Cardiff, Ncuti Gatwa is stepping on to the Doctor Who set for the very first time. He’s arm in arm with Catherine Tate, and they’re laughing about something. There’s a round of applause from Ncuti’s co-stars as he arrives. David Tennant – whose shoes Ncuti is, literally, about to fill – wraps the new Doctor in a warm embrace. “A hug from David? Now we’re in the Whoniverse,” says Ncuti, rejoicing. “THE WHONIVERSE!” cheers Bonnie Langford, who’s hugging Ncuti herself now. It’s hugs all round. They’re lining up. A hug from Jemma Redgrave. A hug from Ruth Madeley. A hug from Neil Patrick Harris, who also gives a theatrical: “Hello, hello! Willkommen!” They’re all here. All the stars. “It’s like Celebrity Squares,” quips the showrunner, Russell T Davies, who’s hugging the new Doctor too. “How exciting.”
