Campaigners call for new Dr Who to be a beard wearer
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has called for the next Dr Who to be a beard wearer.
The campaigners say that hirsuteness has rarely been a feature of the Doctor over the years. Dr Who’s Nos 4 and 11 were briefly seen with beards and the late John Hurt who appeared in an earlier transformation episode in 2013 did wear a beard. He was later named joint Beard of the Year 2013 for that role.
The BLF has identified four contenders who could potentially be a hirsute Dr Who and is polling to see who would have the most public impact
BLF Organiser Dr Keith Flett said, of course we are not demanding that the next Dr Who must have a beard. We do think however that there have been far too few hirsute Doctors and its time to redress the balance. We’d be equally happy with a non-beard wearing Doctor provided it widens the diversity of image.
