Doctor Who: Frontier in Space

The story includes no visible LGBTQ+ characters. All interpersonal relationships stay within the traditional social structures of the 1970s.

Jo Grant is an active participant, but her role is often limited by the 'damsel in distress' cliché. The power dynamic remains centered on male intellectual and military authority.

The human cast is largely homogeneous, but the Draconian species serves as a metaphorical proxy for 'otherness.' This allows for an exploration of friction between different civilizations.

The narrative critiques imperialistic expansion and the futility of war. However, it stabilizes the existing galactic order without challenging specific Western institutions.

There is no meaningful depiction of visible or invisible disabilities. Characters are defined by standard physical capabilities without engaging with neurodivergence or chronic illness.
