Russell T. Davies, showrunner of 'Doctor Who', expressed frustration over complaints regarding the show's inclusivity during a BBC Radio 2 interview. He highlighted the milestone of Ncuti Gatwa portraying the Doctor as the first Black actor in the role, alongside a diverse cast. Davies dismissed critics, describing their concerns as a reflection of a limited view. He argued for openness in storytelling, equating diversity with a broader narrative perspective, and asserting that authentic storytelling must capture the full spectrum of life experiences.
What you might call diversity, I just call an open door. We open a door, and there is the world, and you breathe it in and your lungs are full of the air and it's cold.
Stick with your narrow window. Over here's a big open door, and y'know those people who were dancing? Now everyone's dancing, and it's glorious. That's the place to be.
