For all the depressingly predictable comments that I shouldnโt have been cast in A Christmas Carol please see the below thread and thank you

for compiling it.
Iโm sharing these images because Iโve seen several tweets claiming that the interracial marriage depicted in the BBCโs
#ChristmasCarol
(set in 19th century) is PC nonsense & historically inaccurate
#thread
Bit overwhelmed by the lovely responses to Rosa but by far the nicest thing is to hear is that it opened up family conversations with kids. Kudos to Chris Chibnall for getting us talking about Rosa and the legacy she left us and where we are now.
@HolmanRay
and
@Claire_cpj
did an incredible job of making me look like Rosa. This is me on set next to a picture of her. It was a real privilege to play her and I LOVE that a show like
#doctorwho
has chosen to tell her story.
Iโve received so many lovely messages from this tweet, more than I can personally reply to, that it proves there is more love & positivity in the world than a few loud haters. Thank you! It is so nice to hear that people enjoyed it. Hope youโve all had a wonderful Xmas. โค๏ธ๐๐ฝ

Well thank you for all your lovely responses. It restores my faith. Iโm very lucky to have worked with such an amazing cast and crew. Sorry I canโt reply to everyone but Iโve got presents to wrap and this prosecco isnโt going to drink itself now! Merry Xmas everyone!!!!๐ฅณ๐ฒโค๏ธ๐ฅ
For anyone who might be interested in hearing Rosaโs story in her own words here is an interview she did in 1956. It was one of my source materials. She starts speaking about 3:36. via

Itโs been absolutely fantastic. I cannot wait to watch it conclude tonight. If anyone wants to read more about interracial relationships in 19th century, this is a fantastic source.*

Really looking forward to seeing

as Rosa Parks in tonight's

. If the episode piques your interest, your local bookshop or library will have a load of great resources on Rosa.
So very proud of this man who is, first and foremost, the best of humans, but also brilliant at his job. One of the funniest and most genuine you will ever meet. How beautiful to see the outpouring of love for him yesterday.

The scene change in Ep 3. There was a brief plan to do this digitally but doing it in-camera felt more appropriate & fun.
This scene change happened as the camera pans off the Cratchit family onto Scrooge & Lottie before panning back to the new scene
