Spoilers Russell T. Davies Returns to Doctor Who as New Showrunner

I've actually been hearing a lot about this "Died of Cringe" thing the past day or so, seeing it posted here made me decide, what the hell, I'll check it out.

Meh. "Doctor Who, yes it's still on" and "A CGI monster destroying the whole of London again" were alright lines which did make me smile. And the one playing Kate actually does a reasonably well impersonation of Jemma Redgrave, but that was otherwise a rather forgettable means of complaining over the show having diversity.

Yeah, I wasn't keen on how they handled that joke, but there was a joke there to be made. When the diverse cast only exists to be hugged and then just stands around for the rest of the episode, there are real problems there.

When the writer makes a point of the trans woman vanishing because Conrad couldn't imagine her, and then has her vanish from the episode completely 10 minutes later after helping Ruby put on a backpack, there are real problems.
