PETER FROST remembers Malcolm Hulke, the communist television writer who died 40 years ago
Mac himself said of Doctor Who: “It’s a very political show. Remember what politics refers to, it refers to relationships between groups of people. It doesn’t necessarily mean left or right … so all Doctor Who’s are political, even though the other group of people are reptiles, they’re still a group of people.”
Malcolm Hulke, committed communist and major player in the Letts era “Golden Age” beloved by the NotMyDoctor wankers crowd who like to complain about Chibnall!Who being “too woke” and “too political”. Goodness knows what those people think the Pertwee era stories are about.
