THE BBC HAS apologised after receiving five thousand complaints from Doctor Who fans, irate when an animated graphic (or “strap”) of Graham Norton advertising Over the Rainbow was played over the climax of The Time of Angels on April 24. Speculation that the incident was deliberate was driven by memories of the premiere of Rose on 26 March 2005. This first episode in fifteen years was marred by Norton’s voice emanating from the first Auton Rose encountered. O BBC employee Ross Fitzpatrick confirmed it had ut t N No Over the Rainbow strap appears at been an error: the BBC mistakenly asked Aardman ow the climax of The Time of Angels, to design a Norton strap, sign off on it, delivered it ! and (right) the real Graham Norton. to Red Bee, scheduled it and then transmitted it.

  • Doctor Who's Feminine Mystique

    Doctor Who's Feminine Mystique

    Doctor Who’s Feminine Mystique: Examining the Politics of Gender in Doctor Who By Alyssa Franke Professor Sarah Houser, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs Professor Kimberly Cowell-Meyers, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs University Honors in Political Science American University Spring 2014 Abstract In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan examined how fictional stories in women’s magazines helped craft a societal idea of femininity. Inspired by her work and the interplay between popular culture and gender norms, this paper examines the gender politics of Doctor Who and asks whether it subverts traditional gender stereotypes or whether it has a feminine mystique of its own. When Doctor Who returned to our TV screens in 2005, a new generation of women was given a new set of companions to look up to as role models and inspirations. Strong and clever, socially and sexually assertive, these women seemed to reject traditional stereotypical representations of femininity in favor of a new representation of femininity. But for all Doctor Who has done to subvert traditional gender stereotypes and provide a progressive representation of femininity, its story lines occasionally reproduce regressive discourses about the role of women that reinforce traditional gender stereotypes and ideologies about femininity. This paper explores how gender is represented and how norms are constructed through plot lines that punish and reward certain behaviors or choices by examining the narratives of the women Doctor Who’s titular protagonist interacts with. Ultimately, this paper finds that the show has in recent years promoted traits more in line with emphasized femininity, and that the narratives of the female companion’s have promoted and encouraged their return to domestic roles.

DOCTOR WHO AND THE CREATION OF A NON-GENDERED HERO ARCHETYPE Alessandra J. Pelusi 85 Pages December 2014 This thesis investigates the ways in which the television program Doctor Who forges a new, non-gendered, hero archetype from the amalgamation of its main characters. In order to demonstrate how this is achieved, I begin with reviewing some of the significant and relevant characters that contribute to this. I then examine the ways in which female and male characters are represented in Doctor Who, including who they are, their relationship with the Doctor, and what major narrative roles they play. I follow this with a discussion of the significance of the companion, including their status as equal to the Doctor. From there, I explore the ways in which the program utilizes existing archetypes by subverting them and disrupting the status quo.

    Julia Franco First Year Seminar Science Fiction Tuesday 9:30-10:45

    Julia Franco First Year Seminar Science Fiction Tuesday 9:30-10:45/ Friday 9:30-12:15 Allegories in Time and Space1 On November 23rd 1963, the BBC launched their new TV show ​Doctor Who​. They did not anticipate the cultural phenomenon.what would grow out of their low budget show with cheesy special effects. British children were enchanted by William Hartnal’s Doctor and his companions: Ian, Barbara and Susan, and gleefully scared by the fearsome salt shakers of doom: The Daleks. The stories were anywhere from 4 to 12 parts, each around 25 minutes and were serialized weekly. But lying beneath the light hearted self resolving stories ran deeper elements reflecting attitudes towards history and current events. Deeply rooted in the series was the allegory to World War II. The Daleks take the place of the Nazis and the Time Lords therefore fill the opposing role of the Alliance. At many points, the story reads as if it is a future history of what would have happen if the Nazis had won World War II. This tapped into the subconscious fears of the nation as the war was still fresh in the minds of the parents of Britain. But also tied into the contemporary fears of the Cold War and the Soviet threat. These allegorical elements along with the characters in Doctor Who, such as the Daleks and the Time Lords, that correspond to actual historical events and people make the show what it is today: timeless and timely. The Daleks would not exist if not for one man- Terry Nation.

    Reading Aloud - Doctor Who

    Reading aloud - Doctor Who These are lines from a Doctor Who episode, ‘The Time of Angels’. The Doctor’s companion Amy believes her hand has been turned to stone and she can’t move. They are in danger from terrifying aliens called the Weeping Angels. Read the lines aloud. The DOCTOR is examining AMY, flashing a torch in her eyes. DOCTOR: You looked into the eyes of an Angel, didn't you? AMY: I couldn't stop myself. I tried. DOCTOR: Listen. It's messing with your head. Your hand is not made of stone. AMY: It is. Look at it! DOCTOR: It's in your mind. I promise you. You can move that hand. You can let go. AMY: I can't, OK? I've tried and I can't. It's stone. The torchlight begins to flicker. DOCTOR: The Angel is gonna come and it's gonna turn this light off, and then there's nothing I can do to stop it. So do it, concentrate, move your hand! AMY: I can't. DOCTOR: Then we're both going to die. AMY: You're not going to die. DOCTOR: They'll kill the lights. The light flickers off and the Angels move closer. [Continued on next page] © BBC 2012 AMY: You've got to go, you know you have. You've got all that stuff with River and that's all got to happen. You know you can't die here!

    THE NOTION of COMMITMENT in SELECTED WORKS of Mal SHE MAPONY A

    THE NOTION OF COMMITMENT IN SELECTED WORKS OF MAl SHE MAPONY A THESIS Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirement for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the Drama Department of Rhodes University BY MABITLE MOOROSI DECEMBER 1997 SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR GARY GORDON l ABSTRACT This study is a critical analysis of selected works of the playwright Maishe Maponya namely, The Hungry Earth, Jika and Gangsters. The main thrust of the analysis of the thesis is centred on questions around what 'Commitment' might mean in literature and drama. This concept has appeared in many names and guises. In theatre, it has assumed names like Theatre of Commitment, Theatre of the Dispossessed, Theatre ofthe Oppressed, Theatre ofResistance, as well as Theatre ofRadicalization (Bentley 1968; Boal 1974; Mda 1985; Maponya 1992). These names came into existence as a result of a concerted effort to refrain from the use of the traditional conventional theatre, which does not appear to address itself to societal problems - the preoccupation of Theatre of Commitment. Chapter One is principally concerned with the concept of Commitment and its implications in art and literature, more specifically in theatre. Further, the following interacting elements in South African theatre are highlighted: censorship, banning, detention and other restrictions, as well as DET education and religious institutions. Finally, Maponya is introduced, with his political inclinations and his views on art, together with the issue of theatricality in his plays. Chapter two initiates the proposed critical analysis with a focus on The Hungry Earth. The focus is on Theatre of Commitment and the background events that inspired Maponya's response.

    Doctor Who and the Politics of Casting Lorna Jowett, University

    Doctor Who and the politics of casting Lorna Jowett, University of Northampton Abstract: This article argues that while long-running science fiction series Doctor Who (1963-89; 1996; 2005-) has started to address a lack of diversity in its casting, there are still significant imbalances. Characters appearing in single episodes are more likely to be colourblind cast than recurring and major characters, particularly the title character. This is problematic for the BBC as a public service broadcaster but is also indicative of larger inequalities in the television industry. Examining various examples of actors cast in Doctor Who, including Pearl Mackie who plays companion Bill Potts, the article argues that while steady progress is being made – in the series and in the industry – colourblind casting often comes into tension with commercial interests and more risk-averse decision-making. Keywords: colourblind casting, television industry, actors, inequality, diversity, race, LGBTQ+ 1 Doctor Who and the politics of casting Lorna Jowett The Britain I come from is the most successful, diverse, multicultural country on earth. But here’s my point: you wouldn’t know it if you turned on the TV. Too many of our creative decision-makers share the same background. They decide which stories get told, and those stories decide how Britain is viewed. (Idris Elba 2016) If anyone watches Bill and she makes them feel that there is more of a place for them then that’s fantastic. I remember not seeing people that looked like me on TV when I was little. My mum would shout: ‘Pearl! Come and see.

Leslie McMurtry Swansea University Doctor Who, Steampunk, and the Victorian Christmas “It’s everywhere these days, isn’t it? Anime, Doctor Who, novel after novel involving clockwork and airships.” --Catherynne M. Valente1 Introduction It seems nearly every article or essay on Neo-Victorianism must, by tradition, begin with a defence of the discipline and an explanation of what is currently encompassed by the term— or, more likely, what is not. Since at least 2008 and the launch of the interdisciplinary journal Neo-Victorian Studies, scholars have been grappling with a catch-all definition for the term. Though it is appropriate that Mark Llewellyn should note in his 2008 “What Is Neo-Victorian Studies?” that “in bookstores and TV guides all around us what we see is the ‘nostalgic tug’ that the (quasi-) Victorian exerts on the mainstream,” Imelda Whelehan is right to suggest that the novel is the supreme and legitimizing source2.
