Doctor Who?
Hi ya!
How has your week been? Really...? I've heard she can be a nightmare. Well forget about all that because we are back with another issue of Queerly's non-award-winning newsletter.
Don't miss The Brunch with me & The GDC on Sunday as we are joined by tip top guests, the hosts of the hit queer parenting podcast Some Families, Stu Oakley and Lotte Jeffs. They spoke to G all about their show and share some really helpful advice and laughs along the way. We are LIVE on Sunday morning from 10am. Available on the podcast from Tuesday.
Right, let's get into this week's big queer entertainment news stories. I'd love to know what you think about the Doctor Who casting rumours below. I think it would be fantastic!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Rob
