There are other ways of telling the story that are subversive.

Did you ever think you’d see the day when Dr. Who became sexy and gay. The Brits keep moving forward and the USA keep moving backwards.

Doctor Who is a rollicking good time – a very entertaining program and I enjoy it immensely, as well as Torchwood! Long Live the Doctor! I wanna be a Timelord!
