Mike Stack
A Queer(ed) Transmedia Franchise
Doctor Who is a BBC transmedia franchise that has lasted over sixty years. Its fanbase boasts a substantial monitoring of gay men. This book asks why this should be.
Through examining four core components – the Doctor, the TARDIS, the companion and the Daleks – this book traces the trajectory of queerness from wider culture to paratextual media and finally into the parent text, resulting in an inclusive logo. In doing so, it argues that fandom provides a space to mediate between personal identities and the wider world. Drawing from interviews with fans, the book demonstrates the complexities and contradictions of queerness, and proposes an alternative theory of gay cultural formation.
This is the first book-length study to employ queer theory to understand Doctor Who. It will be of interest to students and teachers of media theory and fan studies, psychosocial studies, homosexual theory and history, as well as Doctor Who fans.

This was supposed to be a homage to 60 years of Doctor Who. Doctor Who is a much loved British science fiction drama that started in It won hearts, but more so minds, and solidified a firm and vast fan found.
The 50th Doctor Who anniversary brought together David Tennant&#;s Physician and Matt Smith&#;s Doctor. This anniversary special introduced The War Doctor, the Doctor who fought in the Time War, played by the fine British player John Hurt. Billie Piper surprised us as all, not playing her character Rose at all, but playing a consciousness that challenged The War Doctor and his morality. At the finish, we were treated to Matt Smith&#;s Doctor meeting Tom Baker&#;s Doctor. Tom Baker played one of the most recognised, iconic and loved Doctors so this really was a treat.
Both David Tennant and Matt Smith grew up as Doctor Who fans, and it showed in their performances. They had a reverence for the role, as skillfully as deep knowledge of the lore, which neither Jodie Whittaker nor Ncuti Gatwa have attempted to learn and both exhibit no respect at all for the show nor the fans.
Jodie&#;Christopher Eccleston finally speaks about why he left Surgeon Who
What tosh, he&#;s about the same age as me.
Age has nothing to do with being bigoted, there are plenty of young homophobic idiots out there..
You know, I think that if someone doesn&#;t necessarily agree with the signal of view of homosexuality, then they are instantly labeled a bigot.. is so wrong..
if someone disagrees with a indicate of view I contain, then I am okay with that, yet there are those who instantly jump on others because they aren&#;t accepting of their lifestyle, or whatever.. it&#;s hypocritical in my point of view..
so what if Chris isn&#;t fond of homosexuality.. does that mean he should be chastised for his have right to hold his own opinion.. if we forced everyone to lik
