Most people don't know this but Winnie the Pooh was actually the name of the doctor
@MamaLake @maxleibman @TheBreadmonkey
This is canonically addressed in the books, and IIRC Winnie has a linguistically unusual male definite article "ther" as the "the" in his name. Winnie the Pooh is quite likely a trans guy, if we can apply that terminology to a culture so far in the past.
chibnall has gone too far.
It's pronounced FRAHNK the Pooh
Old jokes home:
Q: What do Winnie the Pooh and Alexander the Great have in common?
A: They have the same middle name.
No, you are thinking of the world famous BBC series Doctor Pooh.
