I thought the creator of Doctor Who was Sydney Newman
shareDid you miss the first part where Newman was giving Lambert the outline for the show, and then later when he was pointing out what she did wrong with the first episode?

It was very much a love letter to Lambert. According to this, she invented feminism as well as Dr Who AND she led the fight against racism (got an Asian guy a drink in the BBC bar).
She deserves a lot of credit for her whole career but I don't think this movie made any secret of the fact that this was a fictionalised bio.
Awight we're The Daamned we're a punk baand and this is called Carn't Be Appy T'day!

I don't think there was "segregation" in Britain - racism and ignorance for sure, and I have no doubt that certain licensees refused to serve people of colour or certain nationalities, but it wasn't enshrined in legislation as "segregation" seems to imply. In fact there was a huge anti-racism movement (or "anti-racialism" as it would have been called then) too, it just didn't have the clout of law that exists today.

There was slavery.

That was more to show that the BBC staff were behind the times and out of touch with the wave of younger people who were starting in the business.
Did you actually watch the movie? They show Sydney Newman creating almost all of the major concepts for Doctor Who, including the character's name, his basic description, the concept of a time and space machine which is bigger on the inside, the role of the companion, the basic premise of traveling to different historical eras and worlds. About all they show Verity Lambert doing is casting William Hartnell
Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything.
