My Dad again
My Dad, as well as being a cuddly racist just like Basil Fawlty, Old Steptoe, Rigsby and Arkwright, was also a bit homophobic.

Once, in 1983 or something, I had the hiccups. So I said out loud, "Someone give me a shock to rid me of these vexationous hiccoughs", or words to that effect.

Dad fixed me with a solemn gaze. "Dr Who's a gay", he intoned.

I immediately thought, er, um, he's an alien, and human sexuality doesn't play a part in his personality (this was 1983 remember, not now, where the Doctor is a shag- or at least snog-happy handsome young-looking blade), but, I couldn't be bothered to explain.

The hickoffs went away by theyselves eventually.

Colin Baker had a penguin for his sexual partner in the excellent early 80s Golden Wonder free comic series.

Yes you are
Read your own reference; he wasn't a penguin but preferred to spend time looking like a penguin.

An important distinction.

ALL penguins are just pretending.

Correct
he was a Whifferdil, who are shape-changing aliens.

And the strip originated in Doctor Who Magazine. Golden Wonder merely reprinted them.

1983 would have been that cunt vet.
He was deliberately chosen as a handsome young-looking blade.

True
But he never snogged his companions. But Peter Davison [REST OF POST DELETED ON LEGAL ADVICE]
