Russel T Davies’s quote about Rose from the Radio Times in 2005 -“when she meets the Doctor, she gets the chance to show she’s better than the life she’s been leading” really does strike me as being incredibly classist. I haven’t seen it in context so that may not be what he intended, but – think of how many people actually live on council estates and eat chips and work in department stores. They’re not suddenly gonna get a TARDIS whisking them off to adventure and opportunity: TARDISes don’t exist. I’d like to think that RTD really doesn’t think as little of working-class life/working-class people who aren’t Rose as much he’s always implied, but I can never tell.
