Sounds to me favor he just didnt like all the homosexuality going on (the Captain Jack kiss the unwavering references etc) - dont forget Eccleston is a lovely old guy and old people maintain to be a lot less tolerant about such things than young people are.

What tosh, he's about the matching age as me.
Age has nothing to do with organism bigoted, there are plenty of juvenile homophobic idiots out there..Click to expand...
You know, I think that if someone doesn't necessarily agree with the point of view of homosexuality, then they are instantly labeled a bigot.. is so mistaken.
if someone disagrees with a show of view I have, then I am okay with that, yet there are those who instantly jump on others because they aren't accepting of their lifestyle, or whatever.. it's hypocritical in my show of view..
so what if Chris isn't fond of homosexuality.. does that imply he should be chastised for his own right to hold his hold opinion.. if we forced everyone to like or concur with everything in the world, then it would be a pretty monotonous place
‘Doctor Who’ Is Unapologetically Queer in 2024, Thanks to Russell T. Davies
Summary
- Doctor Who thrives on change and the return of Russell T. Davies has brought a fresh entry point for new fans to join in on the "cosmic joyride."
- Davies is leaning into Gay themes in the show, celebrating queerness naturally as a reflection of the welcoming world of 2024.
- The highly anticipated episodes "Boom" and "Rogue" will deliver hard sci-fi grit and a Bridgerton-style regency adventure, says Davies.
Having first hit the airwaves in 1963, Doctor Whohas gone through change innumerable times in the past 60 years. So much so that adjust is one of the very cornerstones of the franchise. That being said, as we learned in the 60th anniversary specials, sometimes things have a way of coming back around just when they’re needed. Writer, showrunner, and executive producer Russell T. Davies, responsible for having revived the franchise in 2005 and turning it into a global phenomenon, has returned along with this new era.
This was supposed to be a homage to 60 years of Doctor Who. Doctor Who is a much loved British science fiction drama that started in 1963. It won hearts, but more so minds, and solidified a firm and vast fan base.
The 50th Physician Who anniversary brought together David Tennant’s Doctor and Matt Smith’s Doctor. This anniversary special introduced The War Doctor, the Physician who fought in the Time War, played by the fine British star John Hurt. Billie Piper surprised us as all, not playing her ethics Rose at all, but playing a consciousness that challenged The War Surgeon and his morality. At the end, we were treated to Matt Smith’s Doctor meeting Tom Baker’s Doctor. Tom Baker played one of the most recognised, iconic and loved Doctors so this really was a treat.
Both David Tennant and Matt Smith grew up as Surgeon Who fans, and it showed in their performances. They had a reverence for the role, as well as deep information of the lore, which neither Jodie Whittaker nor Ncuti Gatwa have attempted to learn and both show no respect at all for the demonstrate nor the fans.
Jodie’s sprint could have worked with good writing. Good stories. But they weren

A Queer(ed) Transmedia Franchise
Doctor Who is a BBC transmedia franchise that has lasted over sixty years. Its fanbase boasts a substantial monitoring of gay men. This book asks why this should be.
Through examining four core components – the Doctor, the TARDIS, the companion and the Daleks – this book traces the trajectory of queerness from wider culture to paratextual media and finally into the parent text, resulting in an inclusive trademark. In doing so, it argues that fandom provides a space to mediate between personal identities and the wider world. Drawing from interviews with fans, the book demonstrates the complexities and contradictions of queerness, and proposes an alternative theory of gay cultural formation.
This is the first book-length study to employ queer theory to understand Doctor Who. It will be of interest to students and teachers of media theory and fan studies, psychosocial studies, gay theory and history, as well as Doctor Who fans.
