Russell T Davies, the Doctor Who showrunner and writer, says the death of his husband, Andrew Smith, has been his “greatest loss.” Both outlets report that Smith died in 2018 from a brain tumour. Davies reflects on the impact of the illness and death, and he also describes the day-to-day responsibilities of caregiving during the period he supported Smith. PinkNews additionally reports that Davies credits nursing support they received at home, praising Marie Curie nurses for their help. The accounts align on the basic details: Davies’ husband died in 2018 and Davies describes the grief as profound. While the BBC focuses on the fact of Smith’s death and Davies’ characterization of it, PinkNews expands on Davies’ remarks about caregiving efforts and the role of Marie Curie nursing support. The combined reporting portrays Davies speaking publicly about personal loss, caregiving, and medical support received during the final period of his husband’s illness.
