A time-travelling bounty hunter with an implied attraction to the Inspector? Why not bring back Captain James Haggard?

I guess the show runner didn’t want to trigger the audience with full-on homosexual situations.

Rachelle D. Tavies promises that this season’s finale

will be ‘the greatest in television history’, much like she said about the Series 4 finale in 2007.

After complaints that the programme treated the audience as if they knew its entire history,

Lyman Spong intentionally made ‘The Navigator’ a jumping-on point for new or lapsed viewers.

It’s a good thing that the show runner didn’t force the writers to make the Seventh Inspector a completely silly, doltish character,

as the lack of seriousness would have really eroded the drama of the era.

Why dont you use they/them when refering to the inspector as a general entity instead of saying his/her or adjacent all the time? /gen

It's sort of 'canon' from the programme itself, but personally, I view each incarnation as singular rather than nonbinary. For the overall history of Inspector Spacetime, I can see the Inspector as nonbinary, but the writers don't seem to understand the entire concept of nonbinary people. (See 'The Tame Green Hither', for how the show runner/writer dealt with a nonbinary character.) Perhaps if the writers had nonbinary friends or family members, they would better understand what it means to be nonbinary and could write nonbinary characters that actually reflect reality rather than their interpretation that doesn't demonstrate what it's really like for nonbinaries.

SHOW RUNNER PAT BACALL RUINED THE PROGRAMME.

CHANGE MY MIND

While Rachelle D. Tavies has the option of ignoring most of what Pat Bacall changed about the programme,

the probability is that she won’t, and the fans will just have to deal with the Space-Filled Person problem.

Lyman Spong has said in interviews that he hated

that people put down Inspector Spacetime for being labelled a children’s programme.
