"I think the many different relationships the Doctor has with their companions, but also the companions with each other, kind of really gives that scope that love is love. We need more of that," she said."It wasn't always easy to be a teen, it certainly wasn't easy to be a neurodivergent, LGBT teen, back at the turn of the century. Let's make it better.

Bill Potts, the first openly-gay companion played by, has been regularly cited as a key moment in the diversity of the show.Erica Moore, a Doctor Who fan who spent many years in Cardiff but now lives in Boston, USA, said there were other characters and relationships which stood out as encapsulating the show's widespread appeal.

"The Madame Vastra and Jenny relationship, it's inter-species and queer, so that was really nice to see. They're set in Victorian England together, again that's kind of [showing] queer people have always existed," they said.Erica added they were "really interested in the episode Gridlock", where the Doctor goes from vehicle to vehicle speaking to people to try and figure out why they are all stuck.
