NEIL PATRICK HARRIS IN DOCTOR WHO

Despite being the longest-running sci-fi program ever, Doctor Who has just
lately begun portraying the Time Lord as someone other than a heterosexual white
guy. It’s been a while since we’ve seen any trans characters on the program.
Doctor Who has always had a large LGBTQ+ following, and we are happy that
returning showrunner Russell T. Davies seems to be capable of giving us the
delightfully queer sci-fi epic that homosexuals want.

“I got to meet and interact with him a bit and he’s glorious,” Harris says of
Gatwa. “He’ll be the first gay Doctor, which is going to be super cool, a sexier
Doctor.”, Neil said in an interview with Variety
[https://variety.com/2022/tv/podcasts/neil-patrick-harris-uncoupled-sex-scene-doctor-who-1235329259/].

It’s possible that Gatwa’s Doctor is gay if Neil Patrick Harris, who worked on
the 60th-anniversary specials, isn’t just guessing. As Eric Effiong on Sex
Education [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sex-education/], Gatwa has previously
portrayed him as a homosexual. Harris is said to be taking on the part of The
Toymaker. It is played by Michael Gough in the original Doctor Who series.

revealed, he released a photo of himself in character, complete with a leather
apron, glasses, a curly wig, and a scowl. While discussing his part, Harris
remarked, “I’ll do my hardest to do my worst.”

The episodes featuring Harris will be released in the year 2023 as a part of the
show’s 60th anniversary.
