It just doesn't look very comfy, does it? And oddly lacking in suitable bondage accoutrements.

I was just waiting for the moment when it was pointed out that if the criteria for the accusation of sexism were making companions bare their flesh, get tied up a lot and squeal for the Doctor to rescue them, then Turlough wins by a country mile. At some point I shall think Important Thoughts about this, and write a lovely essay about why Turlough is in fact the archetypal girl!companion. Except worryingly that seems to suggest that slashing them is actually het.

Katy Manning scared me a lot with her breasts too. But 'the excellent Turlough' bit was great. Shame they then made the same joke about twelve more times...
