MUCH LIKE THE CREATIVE TEAM NOW CHARGE OF THE STAR WARS ANCHISE, MOST OF THE PEOPLE WORKG ON WHO THE DAYS WERE RAISED ON THE SCI-FI STUTN. SHOWNNER STEVEN MOFFAT, OCSNAL CELEBRY GUT WRER NEIL GAIMAN, THE REVOLVG ST OF DOCTORS AND COMPANNS, AND MORE ALL HAVE AN ANSWER READY WHEN THEY’RE EVABLY ASKED “WHO IS YOUR FAVORE DOCTOR?” AFTER MORE THAN FIFTY (NON-NTUO) YEARS ON AIR, THIS IS A SHOW FOR FANS, BY FANS.

HER FIRST EPISO, AIRG SATURDAY ON BBC AMERI, ACTS AS A KD OF SOFT REBOOT FOR THE ANCHISE AND IS CHEEKILY NAMED “THE PILOT.” AS BILL POTTS, THE TENSELY CHARISMATIC MACKIE BURSTS TO THIS FAIAR UNIVERSE A WAY THAT’S LS “BREATH OF H AIR” AND MORE “GALE FORCE WD.”SPEAKG WH , THE 29 YEAR-OLD MACKIE EXPLAS WHY SHE MISSED THE WHO PHENOMENON THE FIRST TIME AROUND: “I WAS PART OF THE DOCTOR WHO-LS YEARS WHEN SORT OF WAS OFF THE AIR JT BEFORE I WAS BORN, AND THEN ME BACK WHEN I WAS ABOUT 16, WHEN I WAS MOSTLY TERTED HANGG OUT PARKS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.” THOUGH, SHE NFS, “YOU’D HAVE TO KD OF BE LIVG UNR A ROCK TO NOT KNOW ABOUT DOCTOR WHO AND ABOUT THE TARDIS” AND SAYS SHE UGHT THE OCSNAL CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.BUT UNLIKE THE OTHER YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IALLY UNFAIAR WH WHO THAT HAVE BEEN HIRED BY THE ANCHISE RECENT YEARS, MACKIE DIDN’T DO HER HOMEWORK. IN A RATHER GENI MOVE, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN MCH ACTUALLY TOLD MACKIE NOT TO WATCH THE PREV SEASONS OF THE SHOW. ENERGIZED BY HER H TAKE ON THE UNIVERSE, THE CREATIVE TEAM SAID: “WHATEVER YOU’RE DOG CURRENTLY IS WORKG, SO MAYBE ’S BT NOT TO WATCH ALL BEE MIGHT CHANGE YOUR PERFORMANCE. IT’D BE QUE NICE IF YOU EXPERIENCED THGS AS BILL EXPERIENC THEM.”THAT WI-EYED WONR—SUCH A KEY FACTOR TO THE WORLD OF WHO— EASILY FOR MACKIE AND IS ALSO BAKED TO THE CREATN OF HER CHARACTER. MANY OLD-SCHOOL FANS HAVE NOTED THAT BILL’S STYLE (SPECIFILLY, HER PATCH-VERED JACKET) SEEMS LIKE A NOD TO AN EARLY, BELOVED PANN, ACE MCSHANE—THOUGH MACKIE SAYS THAT WAS NOT TENTNAL. BUT AFTER WATCHG “THE PILOT,” THE CLEARER PARISON IS TO THE MOST POPULAR PANN OF ALL TIME: PANN OF ALL TIME: BILLIE PIPER’S ROSE TYLER.WHEN WE FIRST MEET BILL, SHE’S DISHG UP CHIPS A UNIVERSY FETERIA. THE WAY MACKIE SCRIB BILL MAY SOUND FAIAR TO FANS OF ROSE—A LONDON SHOP GIRL:SHE’S VERY REAL, VERY MUCH KD OF A GIRL THAT YOU ULD WALK PAST ON THE STREET. SHE’S SORT OF BEEN PLUCKED OUT OF THAT LIFE AND THEN BEEN SHOWN THE WONRS OF SPACE AND TIME VIA THE TARDIS AND THE DOCTOR. I THK 'S QUE NICE THAT SHE’S AN EVERYDAY PERSON. SHE ULD LIVE NEXT DOOR TO YOU. SHE’S VERY, VERY SEPARATE TO THAT WORLD. IT’S MORE LIKE IF YOU OR I SUDNLY DISVERED THAT A GUY THAT WE KNEW HAD A TARDIS THAT ULD TAKE ANYWHERE WE WANTED TO GO.AS MACKIE NOT, THAT “ORDARY” VIBE OF BILL STANDS OUT STARK NTRAST TO THE “EXCEPTNALISM” THAT HAS MARKED RECENT PANNS LIKE KAREN GILLAN’S AMY POND (WHO MET THE DOCTOR AS A CHILD AND GREW UP WH A TEMPORAL CRACK HER WALL) OR JENNA COLEMAN’S CLARA OSWALD, WHO, LET’S SAY FOR THE SAKE OF EXPEDIENCY, EXISTED MULTIPLE TIMEL. AMY WAS “THE GIRL WHO WAED.” CLARA WAS “THE IMPOSSIBLE GIRL.” EVEN ROSE WAS “THE BAD WOLF.” BUT BILL? WELL, SHE’S JT BILL.SIMON RIDGWAY/BBC AMERICAOF URSE, AS RECENT HEADL HAVE BEEN EAGER TO POT OUT, MACKIE’S BILL IS AT LEAST SOMEWHAT EXCEPTNAL WH THE META WORLD OF DOCTOR WHO, BEE SHE’S THE FIRST GAY PANN (IF WE DON’T UNT PART-TIMER CAPTA JACK HARKNS) TO RI AROUND THE TARDIS FULL-TIME. BUT EVEN BILL’S SEXUALY IS TREATED A SUAL AND EVERYDAY A MANNER. MOFFAT HIMSELF HAS STRSED THAT WE SHOULDN’T MAKE A FS OVER BILL BEG GAY: “WE DON'T WANT YOUNG KIDS, WHO MAY HAPPEN TO FANCY THEIR OWN GENR, WE DON’T WANT THEM TO FEEL AS IF THEY ARE SOME OF KD OF SPECIAL SE, AS THAT’S IGHTENG.”BUT MACKIE NOT THAT PUTTG A GAY CHARACTER AT THE CENTER OF SUCH A POPULAR AND BELOVED SHOW IS WORTH AT LEAST A CERTA AMOUNT OF FS. “GROWG UP AS A MIXED-RACE GIRL WHO WANTED TO BE AN ACTRS, I DIDN’T SEE MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME ON THE TELLY. I JT DIDN’T,” SHE SAYS. “FOR ME, BEG ABLE TO BE A REGNIZABLE FACE OF AN ETHNIC MORY IS GREAT. THAT’S IMPORTANT FOR ME, SO I IMAGE THAT FOR THE YOUNG GAY, AND THE OLR GAY MUNY, THAT IS IMPORTANT TO SEE SOMEONE A MASTREAM SHOW THAT IS GAY.”AND THOUGH MOFFAT ADVOT FOR MIMAL FS, THE SHOW IS NOT TRYG TO HI OR ERASE BILL’S SEXUALY. HER CSH ON ANOTHER YOUNG WOMAN IS THE VERY BEATG HEART OF “THE PILOT”—DOCTOR WHO HAS A LONG HISTORY OF LEANG ON LOVE AS GENRE METAPHOR—BUT ’S REVEALED QUE MATTER-OF-FACTLY. “FOR BILL, HER SEXUALY IS JT HER SEXUALY,” MACKIE EXPLAED. “IT’S NOT THAT IMPORTANT TERMS OF THE CHARACTER. FOR HER, ’S NOT A BIG AL, ’S SOMETHG SHE’S JT VERY HAPPY AND QUE CHILLED AND FORTABLE WH. BUT I DO UNRSTAND THAT REPRENTATN IS IMPORTANT. I JT THK, I MEAN, ’S 2017. IT’S ALL ABOUT TIME.
