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.
