Chapter 4

It had been a couple of weeks since Billy and I had confessed our feelings for each other. Being one of the few patients who was able to help out, Nurse Ratched had enlisted me along with Billy, Taber, Cheswick, and Harding to decorate the day room for Halloween. Billy and I were currently hanging paper bats from the ceiling around the nurse’s station. I laughed as Billy gently rocked the chair I was standing on.

“Billy Bibbit!” I laughed as the chair rocked a little harder and I started to lose my balance. I reached out and gripped Billy’s shoulders to keep me upright. “Quit it Billy!” He smiled up at me as he wrapped an arm around my legs and harshly rocked the chair again. My eyes widened as I lost my balance completely. I closed my eyes before realizing Billy was keeping me upright.

“I g-g-got y-you.” Billy smiled as he helped me down gently. I shook my head at him as I turned towards the nurse’s station door. Knocking on it, I handed the remaining bats and tape to Nurse Ratched.

“All done with those.” I smiled at her, having finally got in her good graces. “Anything else for us to do?” Billy joined me and looked at Nurse Ratched expectantly. Using our closeness, he discreetly put his hand on my back. I leaned into it and smiled at Billy when Nurse Ratched turned around to pick something up.

“The two of you could go outside and put these cobwebs on the bushes.” She said, giving Billy and I a look before handing us the fake cobwebs. Billy gathered them into his arms as I got the keys from Nurse Ratched. “Come right back in once you finish. No funny business.” Nurse Ratched gave Billy a look. He nodded before leading me out the door separating the dayroom from the rest of the institution.

“What was that look for?” I asked as I bumped shoulders with Billy. He looked at me with a small smile.

“I t-turned to to r-run aw-away once.” He admitted. “I d-didn’t g-get f-far.” I nodded and looked around before unlocking the door to the outside. I smiled as the breeze hit my face and blew through my hair.

“That’s ok.” I turned towards Billy, allowing my smile to grow. “At least tried.” He laughed as he handed me a few of the cobwebs. We joked and laughed as we made the front bushes look like they had been covered. It didn’t take as long as we had hoped and we had to go back in. “So Halloween is coming up,” I trailed off. Billy nodded as he locked up the outside door.

“Y-yeah. S-so wh-what?” He asked. I blinked at him.

“Are you really not a Halloween person?” I asked in shock. Billy shook his head.

“N-not r-really.” He shrugged and put his arm over my shoulder as we walked down the hall back to the dayroom.

“Billy, I’m sorry but that’s a little bit of a deal breaker for me then.” I deadpanned before taking the keys back from him. I slipped out from under his arm and started further down the hall. Once I had gotten halfway down the hall, I turned to look at Billy. I started to laugh at the look on his face.

“Are are y-you s-s-s-s-serious?” Billy had trouble getting the sentence out. My laugh stopped and I raced back to him. I took his face in my hands and gently rubbed circles into his cheeks.

“No.” I shook my head as I made sure to make eye contact with him. “No. Never.” I pulled him in for a hug. “I was joking. It was a bad joke.” Billy nodded against my shoulder. “I’m sorry Billy.” I whispered as I ran my fingers through his hair. I pulled back and cupped his cheek before wiping a stray tear away. “I really am.”

“I b-b-believe y-you.” He nodded. I shook my head and made up my mind.

“I’m gonna make it up to you.” I slid my arms around Billy’s neck. His hands automatically went to my waist. I smiled at him while he cocked his head to his side. He looked so cute when he did that. I gently tugged him closer until I could feel his breath on my lips.

“(Y-Y/N)?” Billy whispered. I looked in his eyes and saw he knew what was going on. I nodded and Billy closed the gap, pressing his lips against mine for the first time. I smiled nervously at him as we pulled away. Billy smiled before leaning in and kissing me again. “I l-like th-that.” I giggled as I pulled him into another hug.

“Come on.” I gently tugged him back towards the dayroom. “Before Ratched has a cow.” Billy laughed and followed me. We went back into the room and I stopped at the nurse’s station to give Nurse Ratched her keys back. “Anything else you need Nurse Ratched?” She shook her head and I smiled at her before joining Billy at the card table. Taber dealt me in and we played until Nurse Ratched called us to the daily meeting. Billy and I took our seats before Nurse Ratched called us to attention.

“Today we are going to be talking about Halloween.” I smiled at Billy and he rolled his eyes. “(Y/N), looks like you have something to say about it.” I shrugged.

“I mean Halloween’s my favorite holiday so I guess.” I smirked over at Harding, who was sitting there with his mouth open like he had been about to say something. Nurse Ratched smiled to herself at my childish antics.

“Why is that?” She asked me. I was practically bouncing in my seat.

“I mean for one the obvious candy.” I ticked off my fingers. “Then there’s the fact that it is the one day in the whole year that you can dress up and pretend to be someone else. There’s the parties and the traditions like carving pumpkins and hanging decorations.” Billy smiled at my enthusiasm. “Oh!” I exclaimed as I looked over at Billy. “I nearly forgot the horror movies! You get to sit around all day and watch horror movies before going out with everyone one else either to trick or treat or go to a party!” Nurse Ratched nodded her head as she made some notes. I was fully aware that she was marking down my over enthusiasm for horror movies but I could care less. Everyone had their vices. Horror movies were mine.

“And what about all that violence and gore?” Harding cut in. I turned towards him and cocked my head.

“Scared of a little blood and guts Harding?” I asked in a baby tone. “Afraid the boogeyman is gonna get you?” Some of the circle laughed as Harding’s face turned red. “All it is is basic corn syrup dyed red and plastic guts. Nothing scary at all about it.” I shrugged. “Besides if you honestly think any of that is real, well maybe you do belong in here.” Nurse Ratched cocked her head at me.

“You don’t believe any of it is real?” She asked me. I shrugged again.

“I mean sure while you are watching it and your adrenaline is going and its pitch black out and there’s no one in the house but you. But once it is over and the lights go on and you surround yourself with people, it was just an experience you had. No different than say,” I paused and tapped my chin thoughtfully. “Having sex with your wife.” I looked over at Harding with a smirk. He was fully red in the face and glaring at me. Billy was hiding behind his hand as he laughed and Taber was openly amused at my dig at Harding.

“Anyone else have an opinion on the topic?” Nurse Ratched moved the conversation along while the three of us struggled to get ourselves under control. I zoned out for the rest of the meeting, relishing in the fact that I was able to get Harding so worked up. “Alright. That’s the end of the meeting today. Remember we have a small Halloween party before the end of the day and I would like to see everyone there.” We all got up and put our chairs back where we had gotten them.

“You guys ever have a Halloween party here before?” I asked as Billy and Taber sat down at the card table again.

“Once.” Taber said. Billy shook his head.

“M-must h-have b-b-been b-b-b-before I g-got h-here.” Billy shrugged. Taber nodded in agreement.

“Almost destroyed the day room.” Taber chuckled. “I think someone got out. And I think someone tried to kill the Chief.” I looked at Taber in shock.

“Seriously?” I asked. He nodded. “Sounds like some party.” I rubbed my hands together. “I can’t wait until our party starts.” Billy rolled his eyes as I gave them my best evil smile. We played cards until the party started. Nurse Ratched had music playing for us and one of the other nurses brought cookies. One of the orderlies had brought punch for us as well. The three of us hovered around the nurse’s station for most of the party. Taber had said something in reference to the last horror movie that he had seen in theaters and it made me laugh so I tried to cover it with my drink. Billy laughed and shook his head.

“What about you (Y/N)? What was the last movie you saw?” Taber asked. I shrugged.

“Probably Psycho.” I took another drink. “It wasn’t that scary but it did mess with my head a little. Couldn’t look at a shower without throwing back the curtain for weeks.” Billy laughed and I gently hit his arm. “It’s not funny! You guys haven’t seen it! It’s pretty creepy!” Taber started laughing at my reaction.

“(Y/N)’s right.” Nurse Ratched joined our conversation. I waved my hand at her.

“See?” I laughed. “Thanks Nurse Ratched.” She nodded and went over to the TV to turn it off. The song changed and Billy looked at the small group that had taken up dancing in the middle of the day room.

“C-c-care t-to d-d-dance?” He asked me, holding his hand out. I smiled and put my hand in his. Taber took our drinks as we made our way to the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and let him pull me close by his arms around my waist. I buried my head in the crook of his neck and I felt Billy’s smile as we started to slowly dance. The song came to a close and Billy kissed my cheek before pulling away. We turned to walk back to Taber when we saw the look on Nurse Ratched’s face. I swallowed the lump in my throat while Billy squeezed my hand.

The Kango

Nuala was awake in bed; she had no idea of the time because the kids had unplugged the electric clock on the table by the bed. They were both fast asleep on either side of her. John was on his back with his feet tucked into the hollow between her legs; Catherine was snuggled into the curve of her mother’s arm. They had a huge five bedroom house but they always wanted to sleep with her. She unraveled herself and gently put them in their own beds and covered them up.

She went downstairs and made herself a cup of tea. She wasn’t tired but she was feeling a bit bored and in need of adult company. She thought she might go out for a drink but she didn’t know if Robin was in. Robin was the nanny.

She went upstairs to his room and knocked. She could smell his ash trays and the plastic bags full of dirty underwear as she put her head round the door. Robin had three activities in life, sleeping, eating and playing bridge, and as he wasn’t in the kitchen or in bed she presumed he must be playing bridge.

She made herself another cup of tea, ignoring the chaos of the kitchen with its week load of washing up. She collected the kid’s clothes for the morning and laid them on the radiator so that they would be warm to put on. She sat her desk in the study and tried to attack the mounds of marking that had piled up. She couldn’t really concentrate on 12 renderings of “Inner strength and its revolutionary impact on me" so she picked up one of those green virago books that someone had given her. She took the book and another cup of tea and went back to bed with a packet of Marlborough. She put the light out at twelve thirty and soon fell asleep.

Patrick her husband and father of her kids, was at this time walking across London Fields on his way home from the Lady Diana public house. The euphoria of the drink and the good company he had met, showed in his light movement and the folk song he was singing.

“How do you do young Willy MacBride,

Do you mind if I sit here, down by your graveside And rest for a while neath the warm summer sun, I’ve been walking all day and I’m nearly done.”

As he got to the row of Georgian houses at the other side of the park he remembered the agreement he had made with Nuala. He must never arrive at her house with drink on him. He let himself into his own flat next door to their old shared one, still feeling very happy. He was a builder, as well as an actor. He had converted an old derelict house into two modern flats, never realising that one day his own wife would decide that one would be ideal for him. She claimed that they would get on better that way, “living separately but together” she called it.

He looked round the sitting room, congratulating himself on his skills as a builder and architect. There were four bottles of Pilsner Urquell in the fridge, he took one and switched on the television. He usually fell into a drunken sleep watching a video after a night on the booze. He didn’t fall asleep that night though. He wanted Nuala, he wanted to look at her body and feel her breasts and just be close to her. He sat in his leather armchair thinking of her lying there, in those white sheets that made her body look so brown and smooth. He wanted to nestle his face in her long hair and smell her. He knew he wasn’t allowed to knock on her door, she wouldn’t open it anyway, and if he woke the kids she wouldn’t speak to him for a week.

He emptied the Pilsner from the fridge and looked round the flat for more booze. There was a three quarter bottle of teachers left open from Christmas, and he sat in the armchair drinking it from the bottle. An idea suddenly came to him as he was finishing the bottle. He wondered why he hadn’t thought of it before

He went out to the transit that Shamus had left there for the morning. It took him a while to find the keys in his pocket and even longer to get the keys into the lock, but he managed eventually. There it was a bright new yellow kango complete with junction box and extension lead. He nearly dropped it tripping up the step, but he got it into the house and plugged it in, by lying flat to the floor with his face to the socket. He knew whereabouts her bedroom would be, because he had built the house. He moved the television out of the way and put a blanket on the floor to catch the pieces. He didn’t want to ruin the carpet.

The refrain from “We’re off to Dublin in the Green” was lost in the thunder of the machine, as the Kango started to blast through his living room wall. Drops of wet appeared on his forehead and the backs of his hands but he was laughing inside with happiness. The plaster and rubble were spitting out all over the room and he was covered in dust. He took off his clothes so as not to spoil Nuala’s clean white bed.

Suddenly he could see a chink of light, he must have got through. He stopped drilling and flicked the bits of dust and cement away from the hole. She wasn’t lying fast asleep curled up with her hair on the pillow, she was standing up with those spotted wincyette pyjamas on and she looked like Armageddon. He decided to make the hole bigger so that he could explain that he only wanted to touch her. He didn’t hear the police break down his new front door and he looked at them uncomprehendingly as they told him to put the Kango down. He tried to tell them that he only wanted to make love to her, but they’d met violent men before and they dragged him downstairs to the waiting van.

As he tried to open his eyes, all he could feel was the glaring light of the bulb in the ceiling. He tried again and saw whitewashed brickwork, but that didn’t fit any of the pubs that he knew. He realised that he didn’t have any clothes on and tried again to keep his eyes open. The pounding in his head beat his temples mercilessly, squeezing his eyeballs and twisting his neck muscles in agony. He now realised where he was, in a cell. He’d seen the inside of a few before. He thought of Nuala and the smell of her hair and the he remembered the bright yellow Kango. His first regrets were the damage to the wall.

They brought him up from the cells still in his blanket, after giving him a mug of tea. It was Highbury Magistrates Court, he knew it well. The woman magistrate with teddy bear eyes and Margaret Thatcher hairdo, objected to him being naked under his blanket and his case was adjourned until suitable clothing could be found. The young policeman with a sense of humour drove Nuala home in the panda car to collect some things. She smiled to herself as she put the clothes into a plastic Tesco bag and gave them to the policeman.

When he appeared again in front of the hairdo, she was even less amused. She demanded that the trainee solicitors, sitting at the side of the court, compose themselves or leave the room.

Patrick was now wearing a pair of Father Christmas boxer shorts, aunt Edith’s pink rosebud dressing gown from Marks and Spencer’s, which came down to just below his knee, and a lovely pair of granny Murphy’s pink slippers that were five times too small for him. Nuala smiled at him from across the court.

The magistrate bound him over for six months and gave him a £200 fine. One of the young trainee solicitors asked him for his autograph, telling him that he loved him in the play the week before on Channel Four.

Patrick started abusing Nuala in the back of the police car and the policeman threw him out at Highbury Corner. He went into the Help the Aged shop on Highbury roundabout to get some secondhand clothes, but the people on the counter chucked him out thinking he was a weirdo. He gave up and walked to the Hare and Hounds knowing that Jim the landlord would loan him some clothes and give him a drink.

Nuala was paid £1,000 for the pictures the reporters took of him standing at the bar drinking Guiness, she gave the money to Women’s Aid in Cheswick.

Love and Mercy: Artists with Mental Illnesses

There are an increasing number of films that are choosing to represent characters with mental illnesses. Whilst this does highlight a shift in societal stigma surrounding mental health, it’s never been more important to directly address problematic depictions of people suffering from mental health issues. It is important for cinema to move towards a normalisation of mental illness. At times films can still end up reinforcing some potentially damaging misconceptions about mental illness. For example, studies have found that dangerous crime is the most common theme amongst films that deal with characters with mental illnesses. This can be seen in many historical films about mental health such as Sling Blade (1996), One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (OFOTCN) (1975) and Psycho (1960). Whilst in reality research suggests that the mentally ill are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. In OFOTCN McMurphy often resorts to using his fists to solve his problems, for example in the scene where he is attempting to protect Cheswick from being taken away. Furthermore, Sling Blade ends on a murder perpetrated by our mentally ill protagonist. There are many other common myths that film representations seem to reinforce, but this essay will specifically explore that of the afflicted and troubled artist whose mental health condition is represented as dependant on their art.

Critic Mark Hughes writes in discussing the representation of artists with mental illness in the cinema that:

“...so many films attempt to portray mental illness and genius as if they are in a symbiotic relationship...” (Hughes, 2015)

He explores how romantic and sentimental depictions of geniuses with mental illness can end up dehumanizing the characters and turning their suffering into a

“beautiful ‘price’ they pay in order for the world to benefit via artistic express of their illness.” (Hughes, 2015)

This problematic depiction of mental illness is challenged by the representation of Brian Wilson’s psychosis and depression in Love and Mercy (Polhad, 2015).

Love & Mercy (Pohlad, 2015) is a biopic of the life of Brian Wilson, the creative force behind The Beach Boys. It’s important to note before introducing the films plot that Wilson himself was involved in the production of the film and has said of the film that

"I felt exposed. But it's a factual film. Whatever the film shows, it was much worse in real life." (Wilson, 2015)

The film chronicles his early struggles with depression during the recording of Pet Sounds and his later deteriorating mental health and mis-diagnosis of manic depressive schizophrenia later in his life. The film successfully uses two different actors to portray Brian Wilson and this allows the film to offer audience a clear distinction between ‘before’ and ‘after’ the onset of his mental illness whose symptoms include auditory psychosis (Wilson often heard voices speaking to him) and manic depression (there was a period of Wilson's life mentioned in the film where he spent three years bed-bound with depression).

One of the many factors that sets Love and Mercy apart from other depictions of artists struggling with mental health issues is how the film invites spectators to consider all of the factors that played a part in the course of Wilson's psychotic disorder and although the film does show Wilson recording music for Pet Sounds whilst struggling to ward off his condition with illicit substances – it doesn’t focus on how Wilsons condition is impacting on the music. This separation of music from illness is key as it doesn’t portray the illness as a necessary element of the music. Rather the illness is represented for what it is - another part of Brian Wilson's life. The two remain separate entities. His music is neither represented as tool that helps Wilson deal with his condition or as an outlet for his thoughts and feelings about his condition.

Wilson did an interview with Ability magazine long before the film was made. In it he discussed some of the symptoms of his condition including his auditory hallucinations, his anxiety and his depression. This interview which can be read here: https://www.abilitymagazine.com/past/brianW/brianw.html and gives a unique insight into what it must be like to live with a schizoaffective illness and is a good tool to measure how the film itself represented what Wilson experienced. Wilson says in the interview that, “Well, for the past 40 years I’ve had auditory hallucinations in my head, all day every day, and I can’t get them out” – this is something that the film addresses, but it never shows this to us. We never hear the voices that are talking to Wilson. Rather we hear him discussing his experience with other people. There is a scene early on in the film where Wilson is talking to his band mates about the voices he is hearing for the first time. They ask him outright, scoffing: “what, you’re hearing voices in your head?” and Wilson replies very abruptly “no,” he then pauses, “well kind of.” They look at him with a bewildered expression and then Wilson declares in a high-pitched voice “maybe I’m cuckoo for coco puffs” before discussing ideas he is having for the band's next album. By seeing Wilson discuss his issues we get a more humanistic insight to his condition. We not only get to see him how he wants to be seen, but we also experience how others see him. We are led to make our own judgements about his character. He is treated with the same respect that a person who has a physical ailment would be - that the illness does not define the character.

Love and Mercy does a fantastic job at normalising mental health issues rather than marginalising those who experience them. Wilson is rarely seen shutting himself away. There are rarely any shots of him staring into space or as discussed earlier in relation to stereotypical depictions of mental illness – Wilson is never violent or aggressive in the film – quite the opposite he is represented as calm and loving. There are scenes where he is represented as fragile and vulnerable – in need of help and support. Rather than always channelling his condition into his music we see him struggling to work because of his condition. Rather than being represented as somebody who needs his illness for his art, he is represented as wanting to escape from his illness. Wanting support. Needing help. There is a scene where he is almost begging his partner to help him. To get him out of the mess that he’s in. The camera close-up on his face as he declares “please help me. Please help.” It is widely known that many mental health issues are left undiagnosed and unsupported because people are afraid of the stigma that surrounds them. This is why it is so important to show characters asking for help and seeking support.

It isn’t useful for artists with mental health conditions to be depicted as geniuses who are above support because they need their illness for their art. Love and Mercy is an important film because it highlights Wilson's struggle and normalises not only the condition, but the help, love and empathy needed in order to support someone who went through what Brian Wilson went through. As Mark Hughes suggests, artists are just like everybody else with mental illnesses. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have more of the kind of mental health representation on display in Love and Mercy. Wouldn’t it be nice.

10 'Doctor Who' quotes that show why it's the perfect time for a woman in the role.

These are uncharted waters for the long-running BBC series.

After much speculation, the news is out: Jodie Whittaker will be the first woman to play The Doctor on BBC's "Doctor Who."

youtube

This news was a welcome relief to Whovians, many of whom have been clamoring to see a woman pick up the mantle of The Doctor for years. To others, casting a woman in the role of a regenerating, time-traveling alien was an outrage. The role had been played by a dozen men before her and was always meant to be played by a man, they insisted.

A letter written by "Doctor Who" creator Sydney Newman to BBC One management in the mid-1980s offering up some suggestions on what to do with the character he'd created more than 20 years prior, however, suggests those outraged voices haven't done their research:

“At a later stage, [The Doctor] would be metamorphosed into a woman. This requires some considerable thought — mainly because I want to avoid a flashy Hollywood ‘Wonder Woman’ because this kind of hero(ine) has no flaws — and a character with no flaws is a bore.”

While "Doctor Who's" many years on air have been a pretty mixed bag when it comes to bucking sexist stereotypes (in fact, sometimes it was just flat out bad at this), there are a still plenty of quotes from the show that prove women (and men and aliens and everyone in between) can be whatever they want — which seems to now include the role of The Doctor as well.

Here are 10 "Doctor Who" quotes that anyone who says The Doctor can't be a woman should remember:

1. In "The Idiot’s Lantern" (2006), David Tennant's iteration of The Doctor takes on gender roles, delivering a royal comeback:

The Doctor: Hold on a minute. You've got hands, Mr. Connolly. Two big hands. So why's that your wife’s job? Eddie: Well, it's housework, isn't it? The Doctor: And that's a woman’s job? Eddie: Course it is! The Doctor: Mr. Connolly, what gender is the Queen? Eddie: She's a female. The Doctor: And are you suggesting the Queen does the housework? Eddie: No! No, not at all. The Doctor: Then get busy!

GIF from Doctor Who/YouTube.

2. During "Empress of Mars" (2017), companion Bill calls out the sexist views about what jobs women can do while stranded on Mars with a few accidental travelers.

Bill: What, you can deal with big green Martians and, and, and rocket ships, but you can't deal with us being the police? Godsacre: No, no, no, no, no. It's just such a fanciful notion. A woman in the police force. Bill: Listen, yeah? I'm going to make allowances for your Victorian attitudes because, well, you actually are Victorian.

3. Bill made history as The Doctor's first lesbian companion, but "The Eaters of Light" (2017) saw sexual politics turned on its head when she met up with a group of soldiers from ancient Rome.

Bill: There’s, um, something I should explain — this is probably just a really difficult idea. I don’t like men ... that way. Lucius: What, not ever? Bill: No. Not ever. Only women. Lucius: Oh. All right, yeah, I got it. You’re like Vitus, then. Bill: What? Lucius: He only likes men. Vitus: Some men. Better-looking men than you, Lucius. Lucius: I don’t think it’s narrow-minded. I think it’s fine. You know what you like. Bill: And you like ... both? Lucius: I’m just ordinary. I like men and women. Bill: Well, isn’t this all very ... modern. Lucius: Hey, not everybody has to be modern. I think it’s really sweet that you’re so ... restricted. Bill: Cheers.

GIF from Doctor Who/YouTube.

4. Back in 1968's "The Web of Fear," companion Anne took a stand for women and girls who want to be scientists everywhere.

Capt. Knight: What’s a girl like you doing in a job like this? Anne Travers: Well, when I was a little girl, I thought I’d like to be a scientist ... so I became a scientist.

GIF from Doctor Who/YouTube.

5. The first on-screen mention of a Time Lord being able to jump from male to female and back came during "The Doctor’s Wife" (2011), when The Doctor talked about The Corsair.

Amy: Doctor, what is it? The Doctor: I've got mail. Time Lord emergency messaging system. In an emergency, we'd wrap up thoughts in psychic containers and send them through time and space. Anyway, there's a living Time Lord still out there, and it's one of the good ones. Rory: You said there weren't any other Time Lords left. The Doctor: There are no Time Lords left anywhere in the universe. But the universe isn't where we're going. See that snake? The mark of The Corsair. Fantastic bloke. He had that snake as a tattoo in every regeneration. Didn't feel like himself unless he had the tattoo. Or herself, a couple of times. Ooo, she was a bad girl. Rory: Oh, what is happening?

6. Bill and The Doctor have a chat about Missy, The Doctor's gender-swapping nemesis, and society's focus on the concept in "World Enough and Time" (2017).

The Doctor: She was my first friend, always so brilliant, from the first day at the academy. So fast, so funny. She was my man crush. Bill: I'm sorry? The Doctor: Yeah, I think she was a man back then. I'm fairly sure that I was, too. It was a long time ago, though. Bill: So, the Time Lords, bit flexible on the whole man-woman thing, then, yeah? The Doctor: We're the most civilized civilization in the universe. We're billions of years beyond your petty human obsession with gender and its associated stereotypes. Bill: But you still call yourselves Time Lords? The Doctor: Yeah. Shut up.

Time Lords = genderfluid! 🌈#Pride2017 #DoctorWho http://pic.twitter.com/isSTjMZIeg

7. When Martha Jones meets The Doctor in "Smith and Jones" (2007), she makes it clear that she's the doctor in this pairing.

Martha: I promise you, Mr. Smith. We will find a way out. If we can travel to the moon, then we can travel back. There’s got to be a way. The Doctor: It’s not Smith. That’s not my real name. Martha: Who are you then? The Doctor: I’m The Doctor. Martha: Me too, if I ever pass my tests. What is it then, Dr. Smith? The Doctor: Just The Doctor. Martha: How d’you mean, just The Doctor? The Doctor: Just. The Doctor. Martha: What, people call you The Doctor? The Doctor: Yeah. Martha: Well, I’m not. As far as I’m concerned you’ve gotta earn that title. The Doctor: Well, I better have a start then.

10 years ago today, a man named Smith met a woman named Jones…https://t.co/spiimjQV0J#DoctorWho http://pic.twitter.com/NqJW7GWk3G

8. In part two of "The End of Time" (2010), we learn that former companions Mickey and Martha are now married. And we also learn that Martha isn't the type to sit things out simply because of that.

Mickey: Yeah, but — we’re being fired at by a Sontoran. A dumpling with a gun. And this is no place for a married woman. Martha: Well, then, you shouldn’t have married me.

GIF from Doctor Who/YouTube.

9. In "The Ark of Space" (1975), fan-favorite companion Sarah Jane Smith stands up to some condescending language in an awesome way.

Harry: She's coming round. Steady, steady on, old girl, steady on. Sarah: [dazed] Harry? Harry: Yes, I'm here, I'm here. Sarah: Call me old girl again ... and I'll spit in your eye.

10. That time Donna Noble, aka the best temp in Cheswick, absorbed The Doctor's knowledge and became The Doctor Donna, a highlight of her time on the show in "Journey's End" (2008).

The Doctor: How did you work that out? You’re —Time Lord. Part Time Lord. Donna: Part human. Oh yes. That was a two-way biological meta-crisis. Half-Doctor Half-Donna. The Doctor: The Doctor Donna!

10 'Doctor Who' quotes that show why it's the perfect time for a woman in the role.

[ad_1]

These are uncharted waters for the long-working BBC series.

Soon after a lot speculation, the information is out: Jodie Whittaker will be the first lady to participate in The Medical doctor on BBC's "Medical doctor Who."

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-_bSdWEYK8?wmode=transparent&showinfo=&controls=one&enablejsapi=one&rel=&model=3&colour=white&w=560&h=315]

This information was a welcome aid to Whovians, quite a few of whom have been clamoring to see a lady decide up the mantle of The Medical doctor for yrs. To some others, casting a lady in the position of a regenerating, time-traveling alien was an outrage. The position had been played by a dozen men before her and was normally meant to be played by a man, they insisted.

A letter prepared by "Medical doctor Who" creator Sydney Newman to BBC A single management in the mid-nineteen eighties presenting up some suggestions on what to do with the character he'd created a lot more than twenty yrs prior, on the other hand, indicates those outraged voices haven't carried out their research:

“At a afterwards stage, [The Medical doctor] would be metamorphosed into a lady. This demands some sizeable imagined — largely for the reason that I want to prevent a flashy Hollywood ‘Wonder Woman’ for the reason that this kind of hero(ine) has no flaws — and a character with no flaws is a bore.”

Although "Medical doctor Who's" quite a few yrs on air have been a really mixed bag when it will come to bucking sexist stereotypes (in simple fact, occasionally it was just flat out lousy at this), there are a still a good deal of quotes from the clearly show that demonstrate females (and men and aliens and all people in amongst) can be whatever they want — which would seem to now involve the position of The Medical doctor as very well.

Here are 10 "Medical doctor Who" quotes that any one who suggests The Medical doctor can not be a lady ought to keep in mind:

one. In "The Idiot’s Lantern" (2006), David Tennant's iteration of The Medical doctor usually takes on gender roles, offering a royal comeback:

The Medical doctor: Hold on a moment. You've bought fingers, Mr. Connolly. Two major fingers. So why's that your wife’s job? Eddie: Effectively, it's housework, is just not it? The Medical doctor: And that is a woman’s job? Eddie: Class it is! The Medical doctor: Mr. Connolly, what gender is the Queen? Eddie: She's a feminine. The Medical doctor: And are you suggesting the Queen does the housework? Eddie: No! No, not at all. The Medical doctor: Then get hectic!

2. All through "Empress of Mars" (2017), companion Monthly bill phone calls out the sexist views about what positions females can do while stranded on Mars with a number of accidental vacationers.

Monthly bill: What, you can offer with major green Martians and, and, and rocket ships, but you can not offer with us being the police? Godsacre: No, no, no, no, no. It can be just such a fanciful idea. A lady in the police drive. Monthly bill: Listen, yeah? I'm heading to make allowances for your Victorian attitudes for the reason that, very well, you basically are Victorian.

3. Monthly bill designed history as The Doctor's first lesbian companion, but "The Eaters of Mild" (2017) observed sexual politics turned on its head when she met up with a group of soldiers from ancient Rome.

Monthly bill: There is, um, some thing I ought to describe — this is almost certainly just a genuinely difficult thought. I really don't like men ... that way. Lucius: What, not ever? Monthly bill: No. Not ever. Only females. Lucius: Oh. All ideal, yeah, I bought it. You are like Vitus, then. Monthly bill: What? Lucius: He only likes men. Vitus: Some men. Superior-looking men than you, Lucius. Lucius: I really don't consider it’s slender-minded. I consider it’s fine. You know what you like. Monthly bill: And you like ... both? Lucius: I’m just regular. I like men and females. Monthly bill: Effectively, is not this all extremely ... modern-day. Lucius: Hey, not most people has to be modern-day. I consider it’s genuinely sweet that you’re so ... restricted. Monthly bill: Cheers.

The Medical doctor: There are no Time Lords left anywhere in the universe. But the universe is just not exactly where we are heading. See that snake? The mark of The Corsair. Superb bloke.
