And there's no such word as "Pechant", mate... I think I heard “Peter Davidson” in there too… |

it's not that he's flamboyant, it's the lack of fashion sense.

The one on the right reminds me of this:  Of course, that was TERRIBLE! The Ncuti one is brave and stunning... |

There's some people on here that would go to a football match and tell fans off for chanting and abusing the players. Should I call you up on calling fans that thought Red Dwarf went downhill with Season 7 "fools," Rushy? After all, these people don't warrant the name calling. You clearly said that in jest and that's the case with the name calling here. The Hive is notorious for mocking names. It's childish, but it never hurt anyone. Some people call McCoy "McCrap" (tossers) and so on. I think people just need to relax. Ncuti "look out the window and then f*ck off" Gatwa sounds tough enough to take lighthearted jabs at his name, but if he doesn't then he is more than welcome to come here and tell us off.

I prefer the term Fruity Gatwa myself. It's both easier to write/say, and funnier IMO.
In all seriousness, I just think he's completely miscast and there's only one (well, maybe two) reason(s) he got the part, which had nothing to do with suitability for the character (which no longer exists in New Who anymore anyway). He appears to be a literal self-insert for Davies (cue dirty joke there...).
Taking the piss out of everyone involved in this trainwreck atm is not only acceptable, it's our moral duty at this point.

We call RTD "Fathead" because the second draft of a script RTD wrote for the short lived 1988 Children's series "On the Waterfront" was simply titled "Fathead" before it was eventually changed. We just find it funny.

Plus he's got a fat head, both literally and metaphorically.

No, it's defintely a reference to the title of a long-since lost draft for an obscure children's television show that Rob was an avid fan of in 1988. Not sure why people think it's something else. |

I'm surprised you even managed to find that Unless you're taking the piss, I can't tell Rob managed to find a recreation of the draft when he and his punk friends attended an "On the Waterfront" fan convention in 2003. He found the title "fathead" immensely funny and has used it ever since to describe Russell. |

Tbf, it might just be a cultural difference. I'm not from the UK. If it's fine there, I guess that's alright then. I'll try not to go on about it. |
