Complaints filed over gay kiss in “Dr Who.” The BBC isn’t listening to them. Complainers called the episode "inappropriate," but the BBC told them to kiss-off.

Complainers called the episode "inappropriate," but the BBC told them to kiss-off.

The episode, entitled “Rogue,” took place in an early 19th-century setting reminiscent of the romantic historical fiction series Bridgerton. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) received at least two complaints about the episode, citing its “inappropriate sexual innuendo” and a concern about the quickness of The Doctor’s romantic connection to Rogue.
