Clarksdale was the place where blues legends like Sam Cooke, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters got their start, but its significance was mostly known to music lovers.
In Saturday's season two finale episode, The Reality War, Ncuti Gatwa left his role as the Doctor,begins, many within the LGBT community have shared their life-changing experiences with the show.
Doctor Who's resurgence in 2005 saw production move to Wales, and granted it a whole new generation of fans.Nearly two decades later, in June 2024, it had a "landmark moment" with a romantic same-sex kiss involving the Doctor, coinciding with Pride month.As a new graduate in 2006, Scott started out as a runner on Doctor Who on a four-week contract, and has since progressed to script editor. He has also written, directed and produced stories across the Who-niverse, particularly in audio format.
Scott came out as gay at the age of 15, and said the show played a huge role in his formative years."Doctor Who literally changed my life," he told Dr Emily Garside on BBC Radio Wales' programme
"People talk about the Doctor Who family and it's absolutely true. People I met back in the early 2000s are still massive parts of my life."
Scott recalled growing up in a working-class family in Birmingham, "in a world of soap operas and things" where TV characters were mostly in heterosexual relationships or "settled down" in a nuclear family."This looks horrible from our perspective. We don't like it one bit," says Rex Stults, vice-president of industry relations at Napa Valley Vintners, which represents 540 wineries in the sunny slopes of California's most famous wine region.
"Wine is an international product. Even here in the Napa Valley, our wineries primarily get their corks from Portugal, and their oak barrels, a key component in winemaking, from France.Mr Stults adds: "They're already expensive and the potential is that they will get more expensive."
Also, trade wars cut both ways. He says the tariffs announced against Canada are having a devastating impact on US wine exports."Canada is the most important export market for California wines, and one of the top export markets for Napa Valley wines. Right now, there are zero Napa Valley wines on the shelves of stores in Canada.
