(no DW in couch chat so hi)

Why does Doctor Who almost always feature a female companion? Series boss Steven Moffat has spoken out on the issue...
The showrunner insisted that the show itself is "rather female" - and that it would be "damaging" not to have a woman at the Doctor's side.
"Science-fiction is notoriously male," he told Doctor Who Magazine. "You can tell that because everyone wears uniforms and marches around talking about rules.
"But Doctor Who has always felt to me, rather female. It's full of kindness and compassion and eccentricity and wisdom instead of violence. And from that point of view it is important that the main character, the Doctor's best friend, should be female."
He added: "I think it would be damaging to Doctor Who if that voice and viewpoint were not represented."

good job with the gender stereotyping moffat you bumblefuck moron

Yeah, he couldn't be described as 'super' in any way. He's more of a regular villain.

Kind of hoping that having Matt Lucus around for 2017 will lead to some great moments ala Catherine Tate.
