Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?
After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Another score for ‘years ending in a 6’ correlating with ‘years with only one Doctor Who story.
1986 - Trial of a Time Lord
1996 - The TV movie
2016 - Return of Doctor Mysterio
2026 - End of Disney Special
(yes, I too feel like Trial is four stories, but officially it’s not & it suits my conceit)

1. This is such a great TV show and I love every second of it.
2. This promo image rather undersells it, and suggests they might be trying to distract a dog with sausages so they can steal sweets.
