Cover blurb: But how gay is Doctor Who itself? Does it have a queer gene? You Are Not Alone explores how such themes often simmered beneath the show’s surface, and profiles the key personnel who happened to be gay, whose talents have enriched the programme’s history. The Doctor’s adventures often reflected the times in which they were made — from the repressive days before the reforms of the late 1960s, when homosexual acts were a crime; to the Gay Liberation movement of the 1970s and the shadow of AIDS and Section 28 in the 1980s; and ultimately to the more progressive climate of today. Among those discussing these themes are director Waris Hussein and Radiophonic Workshop pioneer Brian Hodgson; actors Mandip Gill, Matt Lucas, Katy Manning, Matthew Waterhouse and Anneke Wills; playwrights Rona Munro and Stephen Wyatt; and Jan Vincent-Rudzki, founder of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society. All three showrunners from the modern era — Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall — explain how queer elements emerged from the subtext to enhance the unfolding story of Doctor Who. With a foreword by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. Patrick Mulkern began working at Radio Times in 1984 and Doctor Who Magazine in 1985. He devised the Doctor Who Story Guide for RadioTimes.com in 2008 and wrote Radio Times: The Sixties in 2022. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
