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.
Oh! Dear.

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.
Boring!
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!
Only the anti-Redheads. And Paul Scholes need not count.
FFS! Those moaners are an embarrassment to all gingers.
:-(
Will you lock me in a nice cage then?
Tempting...very tempting ;-)
I insist on gold bars and lots of cushy blankets and pillows.
Hmm. Will steel bars painted gold suffice?
It'd better be really good paint. Very authentic looking.
Oh yes!
So long as it's nice.
It will be nice because I will be there with you.........along with
chocolate, strawberries, and my very talented tongue.
Hey! It's my cage, I say who gets locked up in it!
So leave the strawberries and chocolate on my doorstep, and shut the gate behind
you...
Didn't your Mum ever teach you to share?
OK - you talked me into it
Look who is talking.
Good thing I'm such a fast talker!
No. No you don't. You NEVER think.
Said troll MR.StupidPants.
