Ack, Doctor Who’s never been non-sexist! Nor has…any TV show in the history of ever, probably. Sigh.

And no, it’s never called out on, and it’s still being mentioned even twelve episodes later (in Army Of Ghosts I think) how awful Harriet is. And then she still dies to protect her planet and yet the Doctor doesn’t really acknowledge this, he doesn’t even have a moment to go ‘Oh, I was wrong about her…’ :(
