Doctor Who fans applaud ‘progressive’ trans storyline for Yasmin Finney’s Rose: ‘We love to see it’
Doctor Who is back on our screens – and viewers are praising the show for incorporating actor Yasmin Finney’s transgender identity into the plot of the opening episode.
The world’s longest-running sci-fi series has returned for three special episodes to mark the show’s 60th anniversary. For the specials, former Doctor David Tennant has returned as the Doctor, with Catherine Tate accompanying him once more as fan-favourite companion Donna Noble. Former showrunner Russell T Davies is also back at the helm.
