I found this POC Bechdel Test on The Angry Black Woman. For a show to pass it:

1. It has to have two POC in it.

2. Who talk to each other.

3. About something other than a white person.

I tried it out with a few things on my DVD shelf…

Doctor Who Series Three- passes!

Smith and Jones: Martha has conversations with Tish about the strange rain, and with Julia about the sudden moon-teleport.

Gridlock: Martha and Cheem talk to each other- Cheem tells her she just picked up a fake gun and introduces herself, and they go on to talk about the drug patches and the Motorway

Daleks In Manhattan: Martha and Solomon have a brief conversation about Hooverville

The Lazarus Experiment: Tish and Martha have a quick ‘catch-up’ before the Doctor arrives. Martha and Francine have a hug and a quick chat. Francine and her kids discuss Martha…

The Sound Of Drums: Francine talks to Martha on the phone, telling her she’s getting back with Clive. Clive then shouts at Martha to run.

Doctor Who Series Four-passes, just-

The Stolen Earth: Martha and her colleague Suzanne have a brief conversation about the oncoming Daleks

Journey’s End: Martha and the other Osterhagen operatives talk.

Doctor Who Specials I’m not sure. I think the Naismiths had a conversation that wasn’t about the Master. And then there’s the scene between Martha and Mickey…

Misfits-In Series One, Curtis and Alisha have many conversations. In Series Two, Curtis and Alisha have a breakup conversation…and then there’s Curtis and Nikki. Series Three…I don’t have it yet, so I’m not sure.

Scrubs-passes

Law And Order UK– passes (although generally only in episodes where Alesha is the focus)

Futurama-passes (Hermes has conversations with his wife and son)

Yeah, that’s a tiny portion of the shows I watch.
