Doctor Who is not anti-ginger!

Sunday Mercury columnist George Tyndale discussed a rather interesting subject at the weekend - is Doctor Who gingerist?

Here's what he had to say. Keep on reading for proof that the Doc isn't anti ginger...

AS if Daleks, Cyber Men and the Empress of Racnoss weren't bad enough, Dr Who's got a new inter-galactic foe - the Ginger Mingers.

More than 140 viewers have complained that the Time Lord has an anti-ginger agenda.

When Matt Smith, the new doc, "regenerated" from David Tennant, he looked at his new hair and said: "Still no ginger."

The episode was watched by 11 million and what Dr Who says is hugely influential.

The show's producers claim Dr Who is actually pro-ginger - and was disappointed not to be reborn as a carrot top.

But worried parents claim the "joke" means innocent red-headed children will be bullied, stigmatised and lose their mates.

Of course, this is nonsense.

As everyone knows, kids with ginger hair don't have mates, they smell and entertain themselves by shoplifting.

There is of course one other bit of proof that Doctor Who isn't anti ginger - it comes in the quite lovely shape of new assistant Karen Gillan.

The new doc, well I watched hoping to be disappointed, however this guy has something. His new assistant will ensure that every male over the age of ten will be tuning in to the BBC each week.

I look foreword to being thrilled.

Paul.
