Watch from 1:27 mins in. This isn’t what I was looking for but it will do just fine in showcasing just how accepting and encouraging the entire cast and crew were in showing a romantic relationship between the two lead characters. Lucy and Renee, initially surprised and shocked, seemed to go with it straight away. For the fans. For the people who felt like they needed that representation to be who they are unashamedly. To feel like it wasn’t wrong or inappropriate. This show gave them that and that’s why I’ll always defend it.

They went in. Completely. Lucy went to lesbian bars to watch the show with the patrons. Renée and Lucy went to the Australian Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney 1999.

So not only did the cast and crew accept and respect that part of the show’s fandom. They went out of their way to be supportive. 

The Xena fandom was a wonderful thing to be a part of – still is, actually.

Its TIME doc, so who is going to be the next Doctor Who? Are you following the hype?

I’ve not been following the ‘hype,’ no, sorry. The show just hasn’t really caught my attention in quite a while, not for storytelling or much else.  I’ve enjoyed bits and pieces of it (12 x Clara were an interesting team, I appreciated Clara’s send-off), but I feel it really needs a huge revamping if it is going to survive.  I’m wary of Chibnall, I wish there was more diversity in the production team, and I’m wary of the BBC just throwing the usual at us (avuncular white male).

I’ve been curious about someone like Tilda Swinton in the role because I like the idea of a female Doctor, but I also like the idea of a non-binary Doctor, too.  Someone who could emphasise the Doctor’s ‘alien-ness,’ if you like.  I’m all for a Doctor who isn’t British.  Or White.  I think a younger Doctor is fine.  An older one is good, too.  I’m wary that if we get someone truly different, the production team won’t have good enough stories or the production values won’t be there.  

My avatar is Michelle Dockery as Susan Sto Helit in Hogfather.  Her performance in that made me think she’d be quite good as The Doctor.   Sophie Wu is another younger actress who I think is quite good and might make interesting choices in performance.  

I’ve a few others I think might be good, but totally won’t happen (LUCY LAWLESS), so won’t mention (LUCY LAWLESS) – I do hope whomever they choose it is a relative unknown, someone who can bring something fresh, vital to the part, something we haven’t experienced before.  It’s going to be important (that this person is likely already cast, well – we’ll see).
