I actually thought the wheelchair was a shout out to dream warriors. I may just have missed the line about the leg when someone came into the room to say something to me.

i don’t know which Dream Warriors you mean, and Google is giving things that don’t seem to apply here.  please give a link?

Shona’s comments about the male scientist’s actions are about 6 or 7 minutes in, on the version i streamed, anyway.

I would actually count the description of the male scientist’s actions as a definite plus, to the extent that I was actually kinda surprised to see it included on a problematic-stuff list. After three-odd seasons of the Doctor kissing people without permission, FINALLY we get a woman saying that ‘even’ an unwanted leg-touch (which the man thinks is perfectly fine and harmless) is actually totally gross. And it’s a woman doing the calling-out. (And then, interestly, the male scientist is the first to die and goes pretty much totally unmourned.) I dunno the spirit in which his character was intended, but I really did think those lines were a Good Thing.
