Doctor Who stars have rejected claims that the show has become too PC, with one actor asking whether it is even possible to be 'too' correct.

Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole, who play Yaz and Ryan in the show, instead praised the programme in an interview with Radio Times for being an "entertaining reminder" of important issues.

Ms Gill said she believed the programme was 'creating conversation' on important issues.

"It makes me laugh, because having the words 'too' and 'correct' in the same sentence is really bizarre to me. How can you be too correct about something?," she said.

"You do see some extreme comments under news articles. I'm only human and I do check and read them. But they don't bother me and actually they're creating conversation."
