Particularly Karra and Ace, there were whole amazing scenes between them and for me, that was supposed to be my lesbian subtext – and you can’t see it! […] And I couldn’t kick up a fuss, either – if I’d said “Hang on a minute, you’re killing my lesbian subtext”, they’d probably have screamed…
Why did you think that Doctor Who was the place for a lesbian subtext?
Anywhere is the place for a lesbian subtext! And again, it was the eighties, and we were all really conscious that there were certain elements missing from mainstream culture and, as far as possible, if you got a chance to chuck them in there, you were duty-bound to do it.
I promise, Sophie, you can see the lesbian subtext.
