 Part of the reason is the usual "Politically Correct"
silliness ... you can't have a dumb female companion any
more nor a white male being intelligent, so the roles got
somewhat reversed. Notice that when Doctress Who turned
up, she instead had a dim male companion (played by
Bradley Walsh).

 Spot on about the political correctness!

 It has taken over most tv programmes made today.

 There's political correctness and then there's stupidity...

They're the same thing ... all Political Correctness is stupidity, as well as being greedy, selfish, and racist / sexist / whatever-ist.

which is what I call all this trying not to offend anybody, at
all, whatsoever, stuff... RTD's comments on Davros not being in
a wheelchair anymore as it might offend disabled people, or not
using the Cybermen anymore as it might offend people with
prosthetic limbs or a pacemaker (etc.) It's nonsense. And it is
a malaise that seems to have affected everyone at the BBC and
modern television production.
 Davros is a fucking cripple because he was caught up in a war,
like what happens to real people in war. They get injured. I
cannot recall anyone being offended by him as a character. But
oh no, Davros has to walk around on Skaro now as we can't depict
bad people in wheelchairs, it sends the wrong message. <rolls
eyes>
