• [NEWS] Ncuti Gatwa to receive Honorary Doctorate

    From Your Name@YourName@YourISP.com to rec.arts.drwho on Thu May 14 13:08:46 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.arts.drwho


    It doesn't say what field the Doctorate is in, but these honorary
    degrees are a sham and shouldn't be allowed - the people receiving them haven't done any of the work nor have the learnt expertise of those who actually earned the degree the proper way. :-(



    Doctor Who Actor, Ncuti Gatwa, to Receive Honorary Doctorate
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, is to receive an honorary doctorate
    from the University of Glasgow later this year.

    Yes, the Doctor is going to be a Doctor!

    Gatwa debuted in the lead role in The Giggle back in 2023,
    bi-generating from David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor, and lasted
    two seasons, regenerating at the conclusion of last year's
    The Reality War. Outside of Doctor Who, of course, his career has
    spanned film, TV, and theatre roles such as Sex Education, Barbie,
    and The Importance of Being Earnest.

    Other recipients include include musicians Deacon Blue and Eddi
    Reader, and the BBC's North America editor, Sarah Smith (no, not
    Sarah Jane!), alongside her younger sister, the Advocate General
    for Scotland, Baroness Catherine Smith.

    The university said they had been selected for having a "a profound
    and positive impact within their professions and wider society."

    Prof Andy Schofield, the principal and vice chancellor at the
    university, said:

    "Honorary degrees give us the opportunity to recognise
    individuals whose achievements have had a profound and
    positive impact within their professions and wider
    society.

    Their work embodies values that continue to inspire
    our community.

    I am delighted to welcome our honorary graduates into
    the University of Glasgow community at such a
    significant milestone, and to celebrate them alongside
    our graduating students."

    The first honorary degrees will be awarded at a special Commemoration
    Day ceremony on Wednesday 17th June 2026, marking the 575th
    anniversary of the University's foundation in 1451 (which is pretty
    darn astounding).

    Congratulations to Ncuti!

    People who earned PhD's the proper way wrote an 80,000 word peer
    reviewed essay. JK Rowling has written a lot more than that and 100's of millions have bought her books so there's her peer review. Therefore,
    she certainly not only deserves an honorary doctorate but also a real
    one, which is more than you can say about Emma Watson, or Yad's how
    can't even string two sentences together in a coherent manner let alone
    put 80,000 words together in a single dialogue which people can actually understand.

    It's awarding honorary degrees to people like Ncuti Gatwa, Sarah
    Ferguson, and Peter Mandelson, purely for political ends that has
    disgraced the practice.

    So he's getting his PhD in proctology for teaching children all about
