Dear Humankind, 

Though at first glance it may seem like an angry fan asking for Doctor Who to air on Christmas Day rather than New Years Day.

I do, in fact believe that this is a blatant attack on women. As Jodie Whittaker is the first female Doctor Who, and, this is the second year running that Doctor Who won’t be airing on Christmas Day. It seems an insult that the first female Doctor Who isn’t having the same treatment as male every other male Doctor Who has previously.

I also feel as though this response and ingrained sexism within the BBC is apparent in other shows and the general conduct Britain’s national Broadcasting service.

This isn’t just about Doctor Who ... but starting with giving women the same treatment, show times and airing rights as men within the BBC.

Please sign this petition to help kick start women getting equal treatment within the BBC.

I hope this finds you well.

Kind Regards

Polly Annabel Swindail
