Also Rose, the first companion of the new series was constantly showing the viewers the working class's perspective throughout all their adventures, and fighting for those people at every chance.

Then there are also characters like Dr. River Song and Madam Vastra, who are always shown as strong women who can fight their own.

Also the second companion, Martha, was a black medical student. One of the best companions too, up there with Amy and Clara if you ask me. Wish she'd gotten more than one season.

Agreed. Definitely wanted to see more of her.

She's in quite a few episodes of Torchwood, I think maybe a main character in one of the final seasons even
