Sir, – I refer to the preview of Doctor Who (Magazine, October 6th). Kevin Courtney disdainfully described an element of the programme's fan base as "spotty adolescent males of all ages". Perhaps you could describe the circumstances in which The Irish Times would publish a review where a female fan base would be described in such a manner?
I think we know the answer to that, so consider the question rhetorical. – Yours, etc,
