  1. As much as I LOVE Doctor Who and love this very helpful website. Did you have put include the afro wig? As a black nerd girl, I love cosplay and have no qualms with non-black fans dressing up at Bill Potts. I do have a problem with the costume afro wig in general. Many times its been use to make a mockery of black culture and blackness. I know that’s not the case in this instance but I hope it gives you context to understand my disdain for the costume afro wig. It’s totally possible to do a convincing Bill Potts cosplay without that offensive wig.

    • Kaylah, thanks for your comments. We mean no disrespect with including the afro wig, only love for the character and her awesome hair. But we understand your point how these kind of props have often been used for racist caricatures and will keep approaching our guides with sensitivity on that.
