After rewatching the Eccleston series of Doctor Who with my girlfriend (which she hadn’t seen) I am just thinking again about the fucking Big Brother reveal and how that is just not going to have the sheer what the fuck impact to anyone who wasn’t at least somewhat familiar with British TV culture at the time and wondering what would have been the equivalent with Gatwa. I feel like television not being the dominant cultural form any more (The Long Game and Bad Wolf both feel a bit aged now in particular because of that) and it would have to be more of an online personality, and not being particularly familiar with or paying attention to that stuff at all and in particular what might be particularly popular to people in Britain the only thing I can come up with is, I feel, the most obvious thing: The Doctor wakes up and sees a dead-eyed smiling hologram of Mr. Beast.
