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).

It has taken over most tv programmes made today.

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

..... Or, maybe, in some futuristic society, we can take a cripple and make him/her/them/they fully functionally again!! ;-P
Or was the crippled Davros just a dream all along??
