Representaion of gender in Doctor Who - School Reunion

There are many different representations presented in the Tv Series Doctor Who. I am going to focus on the Representation of Gender. I have looked at elements such as which gender holds the most screen time, if one gender is presented as more superior to the other and masculinity and femininity of malend females within the fictional world of the program.

From the start the name Doctor Who indicates that the show will be about a man despite the fact he always has a female companion/sidekick, she is only the Robin to his Batman, the show always focuses on him not her. Despite the fact that she is a female she has been masculinised which has stripped away most of her feminitity, this can been percieved as a good or bad thing depending on which way you look at it. For example it could present a sterotypical damsel in distress who can save herself and doesnt need her "prince charming" or it could present a woman who has to behave this way in order to survive in the world of Doctor Who. When they enter the school Doctor Who is given the role of a teacher whereas Rose is given the role of a Dinner lady, this immediately focuses our attenion back onto Doctor Who as being smart enough to teach children whereas Rose is only capable of serving food and cleaning up after the children which follow the sterotypical roles of the woman cooking and cleaning at home.
The head teacher of the school is also a male denoting they have more power over woman, he also takes a young female student away and supposedly kills/eats her denoting again that woman cannot defend themselves and also present the idea that there is constant conflict between males and females.

The dinnerladies are wearing all white clothing connoting their purity, however later on we are decieved and find out that they are scheming something bad for the students, which challenges our precseptions. The men in the episode are prodominantly wearing black which relates to the conflict between black and white. They are also shown as more important as in most of the shots men are always first in shot followed by the women.
The different job roles connotes that the men are a higher class than the woman as they have better jobs that have better pay.
