Maybe they should stick to shows where everyone looks exactly the same if change is so terrifying.

You have a point on the race change.

But tbf changing a character's sexuality is really bad writing under most circumstances, and the few reasons that a Show can come up with that is good writing, Doctor Who fails to meet the criteria.

- He isn't a teenager who's about to become an adult, where you could argue that he is still learning about himself.

- And it's not a Remake/Reboot series with an alternate timeline, where almost anything can change from the original version.
