#Shirley Anne Bingham

[stevenrogered]

I am not going to lie to you. When Russell told me that we were putting a ramp in the TARDIS, I cried. I did. He actually told me about a fan who had contacted him, who was a wheelchair user, and said how much he admired Russell’s work. He said, “Even though I can’t get in the TARDIS, because it’s not wheelchair accessible, I just love it.” And Russell was like, “So, we change that instantly. We change that.” When he told me that story, that really hit me straight in the heart. I know what that will mean for the disabled community, and many disabled Whovians who haven’t had that. -Ruth Madeley

LADS I DON'T THINK YOU REALISE HOW AMAZING SHIRLEY ANNE BINGHAM IS

Doctor Who, one of the biggest TV shows in the country, just showed an ambulatory wheelchair user getting out of her wheelchair to transfer to a desk chair. They showed a disabled person getting up out of her wheelchair. On national television.

AND THEY EVEN BUILT IT INTO THE SCRIPT!!!

They don't just mention it in passing, they write it into a tirade of hate which is explicitly written to be extreme, unfair, and absolutely wrong.

This is huge.

Ruth Madeley: "For every disabled kid who couldn't get into the Tardis, this ramp is forever yours."

“What’s that?”

The greatest use of a Spice Girls song ever.

That's how he hid himself from me, because I should have sensed there was another Time Lord on Earth. // Screen after screen after screen. And every type of screen. Everyone and everywhere, he's inside 'em all.

Fourteen follows Donna to work one day, “Not to do any world-saving, just to look around! Check out the archives, see how Kate’s getting on, the like!” It lasts until about 11:00, at which point he’s become such a distraction that Kate calls Shirley and tells her that her schedule for the rest of the day has been cleared, and to “For the love of God take him down to the lab, show them the projects, goof off for all I care, just don’t cause any structural damage and get him out of my hair.”

The right-wing media: everything is the fault of trans people (esp. trans women), disabled people, and refugees. Also more widely, all LGBT+ people and every POC who isn't a Tory party cabinet member. Oh, and also Scottish people.

Russell T Davies: here is a young trans woman of colour, a disabled scientist who's an ambulatory wheelchair user and has rockets and stun-darts in her wheelchair, and a glorious new Doctor who's played by a gay refugee originally from Rwanda. They are all unbelievably awesome and are in various ways saving the world. Any questions?

Also RTD: oh and also this other Doctor (who is played by a vocally left-wing Scottish man who's very supportive to his trans kid and is generally an LGBT+ ally) is going to demonstrate that sometimes mentally ill people need to rest rather than being constantly told that working is the cure for everything. Just so you know.

The role representation is playing in these specials is absolutely wonderful. Not only gender, pronouns, sexuality but also disability. And all of it is staring at you right in the face, you can't miss it, you can't ignore it, you can't forget about it.
