thewayneFLOODED, I say!
SOOOO many complaints!
How dare they pollute Doctor Who with including a trans character in one of the Specials, specifically the Star Beast, the first episode with David Tenant returning!
Yep, twelve dozen complaints rolled in!
144.
Out of a viewership of some 7.6 million people.
Approximately 0.002 percent. Not two tenths of a percent, two THOUSANDTHS of a percent.
BBC naturally had to be respond, and it was classic BBC:
Summary of complaint
We have received complaints from viewers who object to the inclusion of a transgender character in the programme and from others who feel there are too few transgender people represented.
Our response
As regular viewers of Doctor Who will be aware, the show has and will always continue to proudly celebrate diversity and reflect the world we live in. We are always mindful of the content within our episodes."
Love it!
