None were obvious (to me) though this episode wasn't writen by the rear

Homophobia aside - it was written by Mark Gatiss (or League of Gentlemen

Regardless of his sexuality, it's a bit stupid to assume there will be a gay
reference but then "Fairplay" is beginning to strike me as a wannabe troll.

Troll? Don't be silly.

Either

1. a bit of fun
or
2. Highlighting the PC mind control of the BBC.

How is it a "troll"?

If you think so, just ignore. I'm happy your happy - means we are both happy
together - steady though, not happy in *that* way.

Whatever you say, old man.

Doesn't it bother you that society has moved on and that your bigoted
viewpoints ostracize you more and more the older you get? Rather than
stay stuck in the past, why not just move on with the rest of us and
accept the fact that people are not the same as you? What difference
does it make to you if some men find other men attractive? They aren't
hurting you, leave them be.

Or is this a god thing? If so, there's no helping you.

1. Don't top post.

2. Is the term "rear gunner" so offensive to you that you need to come out
with such vitriol?

Would you have preferred "Shit Stabber" or perhaps "Pillow Biter" or even
"Fudge Packer"?

Please let me know.

What has anything I have said lead you to believe that I have anything
against gays?

What is bigoted about my views?

It looks like, because I used a humourous colloquial phrase for arse bandit,
you have let your bigoted prejudice take centre stage.
What is it about my comments that are "stuck in the past"?

I am quite happy if you have chosen to be a shirt lifter - makes no odds to
me.

But I see no reason why I should be scared off by turd burglars such as
yourself, from pointing out when gay references have been "slipped into" Dr
Who - by their noted "sausage jockey" scriptwriter(s).

Geddit??

PS I have asked you to "ostracize" - pleasde comply. Ta very much.

This whole gay thing, certainly is revealing. It's brought those with a
"vested interest" out of the closet.

No doubt the homosexual references the scriptwriters have managed to get
into, what is ostensibly a childrens programme, are heartily approved of in
some quarters.

As Corp Jones would say "They don't like it up 'em" - but then again they
do!!

BTW there has been nothing "anti-gay" in any of my posts.
It is simply you and the other pork munchers conveying your bigoted
prejudice onto my opinions.

Would you care to cite a source that purports to be a homosexual campaign
aiming at "turning our young" into homosexuals? Or is it just nonsense
you're pumping out?

I'm the source. Plus the homosexual references in the first two weeks of Dr
Who which I have cited.

Not paranoid at all. Knowing Mr Davies CV, I had a bet with myself before
the first episode that their would be at least one homosexual reference. It
took five minutes for the Doctor to pick Heat magazine and refer to an
actors sexuality as "gay" and that he would be unable to have a relationship
with a woman.

In Episode 2 we have the Gay anthem Tainted Love, sung by his bender pal.

Episode 3 was not written by him.

Do you realise there have also been references (and not so tenuous,
either) to London, to trees, and to Shakespeare in every episode so far
(to name only a few things at random). In episode two, Rose suggests
the Doctor should pollinate a tree. So what? Are we to assume Mr Davies
is a closet arboriculturalist?

The interesting thing is not that there are supposed gay references, but
that you notice them. And that says more about you than it does about
RTD.

The really interesting thing is why anyone is bothering to respond to

What a superb argument. Because subjects other than homosexuality were
covered in Dr Who, though not in the first five minutes or so of the first
episode, then it makes any type of analysis invalid.

Do you not think he had a bet with his savaloy sucking pals how long it
would take him to get a gay reference in?

You need a reality check.

Oh, don't play the fool. You know perfectly well what I'm talking about,
but since you'll no doubt keep up the innocent act anyway here's a few of
them:
rear gunner
pork munchers
arse bandit
turd burglars
sausage jockey
fudge packers
bender
Shit Stabber

You claim these are just "descriptive" phrases and not bigoted, homophobic
slurs but that's total bull and I suspect you're very well aware of that.
By that logic, that would mean you could call Cubans "wetbacks", blacks
"niggers" or "spear chuckers" and whites "crackers" or "honkeys" and it'd be
okay, it wouldn't be racist at all. I think the only people who would claim
that would be Klan members, a very highly regarded group of people to be
sure.

The writer's sexuality wasn't an issue as far as I can tell, until you made
it one. You're the one that brought this up. No, that doesn't mean I'm
implying you're gay. It means you're making a mountain out of a molehill
and have wasted all this space whinging on about something that's irrelevant
to the show. Yes, "Queer as Folk" fans will find it heartening that the
writer/creater is "one of them" so to speak, but we're not talking about
"Queer as Folk". Regarding discussions of the new "Doctor Who" it's
off-topic and it doesn't matter. You probably agree with the people who
think "Spongebob Squarepants" is evil and promoting homosexuality too. What
is it with people thinking there's some horrible gay agenda to take over the
world? I don't get the paranoia. I think most gay people will tell you
their only agenda is to be left the fuck alone by straight people!

To look at this from another angle, being a bigot of any kind of really out
of place in the "Doctor Who" fandom. Part of the Doctor's appeal to such a
wide diversity of people is that he is not a petty, bigoted person and is a
character who constantly fights for the downtrodden and marginalized in the
various societies he visits. If the Doctor were real, he wouldn't have any
time for your narrow point of view.

Nope, they are non descriptive derogatory terms. Although "spear chuckers"
may be seen to be valid if one was discussing, say Zulu's, as it is an
integral part of their culture, that is to chuck spears. Just as someone who
commits bugery can accurately be described as a shit stabber.

No it appears it's a childs version of it with unsuitable adult themes and
references IMO

Perhaps there is no agenda.
But equally, perhaps their subjective normaility in their atitides and
opinions is not shared by others - you assert below that it is a minority
one after all.
Perhaps he/they are doing it in all innocence - but I doubt it and it is
irrelevant anyway.
It is reasonable for those who do not share this subjective "minority" to
point it out when it impinges on Childrens TV programmes.

I have passed no judgement on homosexuality - just used graphic phrases to
describe it- and had some fun doing so.

You may see them as pejorative - but I don't.

I think you have an exceedingly narrow, bigotted point of view. Because I
haven't fallen hook line a sinker for the shite that has been broadcast (
excluding the first episode and perhaps the second) just because its Dr Who.
Or I don't feel the need to turn a blind eye to the unsuitable adult themes
which have found their way into the programme - as was *always* going to
happen with him in control of it - you imply I am a petty bigot.

It is not petty and bigoted for others not to agree with your view of what
is suitable and relate that on this forum - though admittedly in somewhat
graphic terms.

It *is* petty and bigoted to be shouted down and deny the obvious references
which are there for all to see, either A - just because its Dr Who or B.
Because it was written by someone of a "minority" community or C. You are
happy for sexual themes to be aired in such a way on an early evening
Saturday night BBC1 childrens programme.

To quote a phrase back at you:

Sorry, but you're just not going to convince anyone with half a brain that
describing someone as a shit stabber in leau of homosexual or gay is a valid
description rather than an obvious insult. And oh yes, I do realize this is
an obvious act on your part so I really don't expect any admittance that
you're a bigot.

So, how much of an issue was it that John Nathan-Turner was gay? Are you
scarred for life for having watched Doctor Who in the 80s because every
episode is rife with homosexuality?

> Not whining. Just pointing something out.

No, you've been whining. You've been practically foaming at the mouth about
those evil gays and their plot to turn Doctor Who into a vehicle for
promoting homosexuality. What exactly does that mean anyway? Is
acknowleding that gays exist really pushing anything on anyone?

> No it appears it's a childs version of it with unsuitable adult themes and
> references IMO

I don't think saying someone is gay in a show is any more adult than saying
someone is of a certain religion or ethnicity. What is, is. Yes, the
homophic always purport that they rail against any gay character or gay
reference in tv because it's "for the children". For the children seems to
be a catchall in these conservative times for excusing holding your thumb
down on things you don't like.

Let's consider Doctor Who a children's show for the sake of argument.
Compare it to other cartoons and kids shows over the years. How many
instances of more adult humour or inuendos can you find in those shows?
Watching older shows again as an adult, I find quite a bit. It's a long
tradition that the writers of such shows put in some humour for adults
that'll go right over most kids heads. Likely it amuses the writers to do
so, but it also keeps parents from going bonkers when watching cartoons with
their kids. Even Disney movies have something for the grownups and Doctor
Who is written in the same way. It's pretty clear it's not just written for
the 8 to 10 crowd and never has been.

Well, it used to be a minority that thought slavery was wrong. The majority
is not always right. If TV in the states pandered only to the majority,
there would be no one other than white people on TV. There are lots of
minorities in the world and you can't cut out ever reference to their very
existance. I'm afraid you'll just have to learn to live with the fact that
all TV doesn't revolve solely around people exactly like you.

I address this same point further up. I don't see how they're impinging on
anything.

Yes and used a bunch of graphic phrases like that because you're fine with
gay people. Why don't I believe that? It's pretty clear what your opinions
are on the matter.

First off, I'm not denying they are there. I'm just disputing your claim
that this fact is important, worth getting all worked up over or any more
"upsetting" than a straight reference is.
RE: point A: I don't automatically love everything just because it's Doctor
Who. Most fans don't if those Pertwee vs McCoy flame wars a few years back
were any indication.
RE: point B: Just out of curiosity, would be this upset at these references
if they were not written by a gay man? I don't know the sexuality of every
writer in television or even on this one show, but I'd hazard a guess that
more than one straight writer has put in sexual references in the background
of an all-ages show, either about his own orientation or another.
RE: point C: What sexual themes?? Saying someone is gay is not any more of
a sexual theme than saying someone is straight. Remember what Mickey said
to Rose in episode 1: "Any excuse to get in the bedroom." Oh dear me,
that's an implied reference to straight sex isn't it? Oh holy hell no!!
And yet, you've not mentioned and you're not making a fuss of it. Why?
Following your logic to it's natural conclusion, everyone in the show would
be asexual. If you can't say someone is gay, then you can't say they're
straight either if you are upset at sexual references and that you're not
just a bigot regarding homosexuality. To do that, would just be nuts, which
is what I consider your opinion on this.

I see, so cutting and pasting what I wrote someone makes you right and me

Especially since it's a very crude reference refering to sex act which
is enguaged in by plenty of heterosexuals.

Some really daft conspiracy theory. There's probably more actually

It's a rallying call used by those of all political persuasians.

If there isn't people might even make it up, e.g. "Captain Pugwash".

Possibly not confined to just the writers either.

The actors probably need to keep their sanity too.

Even if it is an *insult* doesn't follow that I am a bigot.
I use slang terms for everyone and everything. So what?

Because my sensibilies dont cut the mustard with you means nothing.

Uhm. I think you'll find I have kept myself to discussing dialoge.
Totally irrelevant issue.

Who says I've been foaming at the mouth? You need a reality check.

I think you are going off on a tangent. Stick to the point.

Hold on. WHY should such issues be raised in the programme? How you can call
these times "Conservative is beyond me. You are having a laugh.
It is totally reasonable for me to raise the issue that RTD is using DW to
"promote" homosexuality. Why should I not raise it?

I consider it unsuitable.

Why should I not say it?

I object to the exploitation and "commercialisation" in the broadest sense
of Dr Who - it being used as a vehicle for RTD's own agenda above others.
WHy can we *not* have a programme that is not soiled in such a way?
It is exploitation to have no self control or censorship, to promote his own
agenda regardless of the sensibilities of others.

Absurd analogy.

The fact is the homosexual minority runs the media, which is why we are
force fed the inane Graham Norton and continual cum swallowing jokes. Is
that humour?

Thats so rich. Unbelievably arrogant and patronising.

Perhaps it doesn't revolve around *you* or your sensibilities either.
Perhaps *you* are a bigot.

Ever thought of that?

I really dont care what you think. I will "insult" anyone and everyone - I
favour none.

As are you. But you hold the arrogant PC attitude that your derivation of
society is "correct" anyone who disagrees is wrong and so in my case a
bigot.
The argument is easily turned on its head. Your justifications above for the
homosexual references are just that you think its Ok.
Well why can't mine just be that I dont?

It's a sign of the times.

I think you'll find , that the whole thrust of my argument IS THAT THEY

In my opinion it is. Because in the context of Dr Who it is totally
unecessary and gratuitous.
He's doing it because he can - for his own motives.

Wrong.
I've made a "fuss" of the crass adult themes in general. I have *not*
restricted myself to the homosexual references.

I don't need to. *All* your exposition can be quoted straight back at you.

The fact is a subtext has been *added* that need not have been in the
Series, for obviously ulterior motives.
