FRAUGHT IN THE ACT

-

IF acclaimed screenwrit­er Russell T. Davies – the man who breathed fresh life into Doctor Who – had his way, only gay actors would be permitted to play gay characters. What woke tosh!

Mr Davies likens it to the ghastly and now derided act of “blacking up” an actor to play a person of colour. This is a ludicrous comparison.

However, if you follow his logic, you would ban gay people from playing straight roles and only dads or mums could portray parents.

Can someone kindly tell him… it’s called ACTING!
