I saw this episode, i didn't pick up on that though, obv wasn't concentrating very hard. but, i was talking to someone about dr who recently who said that the producer or creator  (or someone) in the new dr who is gay, and some critics are saying that its due to their influence that the dr is relatively camp.  sorry thats not phrased very well, when i started writing i realised ive sort of forgotten what this guy had said about it

Yeah I picked up on that as well. The executive producer/head writer Russel Davies is gay so he slips stuff in from time to time. He wrote Saturday's episode as well I think. Sadly he's stepping down at the end of the year to just being a normal writer. Stephen Moffat is taking over (he wrote the past two library episodes, as well as the weeping angels episode last year, the girl in the fireplace the year before and the boy with the gas mask face in the first season. He writes all the scary ones basically, lol.)

There was a lesbian couple in the traffic jam episode last year as well. Plus y'know, Cap'n Jack. Torchwood is worse for it, I think everyone in Torchwood has slept with a member of the same sex at some point.

Well my ears pricked up at that point too!  While I agree it was lovely to see a visable lesbian presence I wasn't very impressed that she ended up dead tho :-(

either. but what can you do.

i do like stephen moffats writing, although they're definetly the scariest episodes they're probably also the best ones. i thought blink (weeping angels one was fantastic)

i completely forgot about the lesbian couple in the traffic jam episode.

i think it's different to have gay couples in dr who than in torchwood. Torchwood's on at a later time and for godsake, the second episode ever was about a 'sex monster' that was one of the most genuis aliens they could've come up with, when they asked why she came to earth i think her answer was basically along the lines of... they have the best sex her. although i got pissed off with that one, because the creature fed off orgasms, and when she started making out with glen she stopped because she 'wouldn't have been able to feed' which is a bit rubbish in my opinion! but hey!

also to say, i'm not looking forward to next weeks episode, i'm not a big Rose fan and Donna's grown on me so idon't want her to go!

laugh on, that i sitll belive in the people, for I still belive in life"

I wasn't really happy with the ending either but it was her or the Doctor. No i'm really excited that Rose is back. I love her- though that could be sentiment and I do like what's her name- oy I can't remember but oh well.

I noticed that too!

Just finished watching it. When she said it I was like ''Eh? did she really just say she?!''

But everytime I see that woman all I can think is that she is Dave's wife from The Full Monty

I picked up on that but thought it was just me jumping to conclusions, but when i watched it a second time i realised that she had said that she was recently single. This isn't the first time Doctor who has had something like this in, well ok this time it was much much smaller but the last time, if i remember correctly there was two elderly women who were gay, and i vaguely remember them talking to another couple saying that they weren't bestfriends, ok i think im completely wrong, but  i know there has been a lesbian elderly couple on the show, i think it was the one where they were stuck under ground on like an underground motor way, hmm it might have been the 2nd or 3rd series

Sorry if that didn't make sense :/

I picked up on that comment too, thought it was nice of the BBC to be open minded for a change!

I dont really like Rose, prefer Martha but it should be interesting having her back! In the last episode of this series the doctor is joined by Donna, Rose, Martha, Jack and Sarah-Jane!

I thought it was good that they just sort of slipped it in that she was a lesbian like it was no big deal. But as soon as she said it I thought she would either end up evil or dead. I thought I must just be a really cynical person but I was right on both counts lol

damn the lesbian curse. why do we always end up dead or evil?

 

i too noticed this i was like... did she say it..?! lol... i think that doctor who is good for doing things like this, it shows gay people as normal and has atleast one gay character a series. The ending however made me laugh though, she was a lesbian so obviously she died xD i dont mind though she was creepy...

and yes when i saw her i was like ha its dave's wife :).... does anyone else remember her from afterlife? Now she was even creepier in that lmao

" i *Heart* Oy oy lady"

I'm a Rose and/or Martha fan....not really a fan of Donna, though there has been a few moments when I thought she's been alright!!

I did love the little comment in the last episode though as an episode overall I thought it was a little weak, didn't really like it all that much!!

I can't wait for the final episode and when Rose is back (fingers crossed it's next week, i've been waiting for ages)!!
