RTD lets a mom have it

DOCTOR Who writer Russell T Davies told a woman she was an unfit mum for not letting her kids watch the sci-fi hit.

He was confronted by the mystery female at a wedding where she told him she was appalled by the Saturday night show because of bisexual character Captain Jack Harkness.

But her comments did not impress Swansea-born Davies, 44, who also writes the BBC Wales hit and Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood. He said: “I had such a go at her. I said ‘You’re an unfit mother. You’re ignorant. Your children are cleverer than you’. Then her husband came up and I thought there was going to be a fight, but they left.

“I can be very bolshie you know. I didn’t make Captain Jack bisexual from any principle, but because I thought it would be interesting from a narrative point of view. But having created him, I’ll defend him to the hilt.”

Davies, who now has homes in Cardiff Bay and Manchester, also revealed he loves his celebrity – most of the time.

He said: “I love it. The only place I don’t like the attention is in the gay clubs.

“I love to watch the ghetto come to life. All those people from Tesco and Barclays becoming themselves at night.

“But I do miss my privacy. God knows what it must be like for David Tennant.”
