Doctor Who, BBC One, comment about ginger hair, 1 January 2010
Publication date: 6 January 2010

Complaint

We've received complaints from viewers who believed a line in the
second part of Doctor Who: The End of Time was insulting to people
with ginger hair.

The BBC's response

We would like to reassure viewers that Doctor Who doesn't have an anti
ginger agenda whatsoever. This was a reprise of the line in the
Christmas Invasion episode in 2005, when David Tennant discovers that
he's not ginger, and here he is, missing out again - disappointed he's
still not ginger.

In addition, the Doctor's previous companion Donna Noble (Catherine
Tate) and his new one Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) are both redheads.

Dirty fucking Gingers! They can't even watch a TV programme without getting
worked up over a throwaway line. I think they should all be locked up... as in a
Catherine Tate sketch a few years ago.

Lock them up I say! Especially if the curtains don't match the carpet, or they
have one of those annoying freckle faces to go with the red hair... Urggghhhh!
