Doctor Who used the Guy Fleegman rule of cute creatures
Guy Fleegman : Sure, they're cute now, but in a second they're gonna get mean, and they're gonna get ugly somehow, and there's gonna be a million more of them.
I'm not sure people realise just how important this second of television is.
Showing a person in a wheelchair crossing her legs. Using her legs.
After what rtd said about davros and rose in the unleashed episodes, this was 100 percent done on purpose.
When I go out in a wheelchair I am terrified to make it noticeable that I can use my legs. Because ... well we all know why and I'm not really articulate enough to go into everything.
But this. This right here. I doubt anyone who uses a wheelchair didn't have a doubletake. A glimmer. A KNOWING about just how important this tiny, insignificant action was.
