Posted on Monday, April 3rd, 2017 by Hoai-Tran Bui
Doctor Who may go down in history as the longest-running British sci-fi show, but it will make history again in its upcoming 10th season of the new Who franchise that began in 2005.
The Doctor’s newest companion (the designated title for his permanent sidekick) played by Pearl Mackie, will be the first openly gay one in the show’s 50-plus year run.
