Both posters represent the women as very weak and powerless. It is also representing men as being the saviour of women as in both poster they are trying to fight off the evil to protect the woman.
Question 2
The article says that Sci-Fi genre shows more challenging representations of sexuality as they go beyond the traditional, hetreosexual boy meet girl kind of relationship. As writers are writing about aliens everyday it is easy to see sexuality which is alien to main stream culture.

In the 1930's women in films were hardly seen as objects. If an 'alien' female was on screen they were often seen as offereing a more provocative example of sexuality due to them being different.
Question 5
Davies went against the norm of male and female relationships as he contradicted the stereotype in Dr Who as he was shown to be homosexual due to the dialogue however he differed to the usual stereotype of homosexuals due to his masculine physique and his military costume.
Question 6
Due to Dr Who being on before 9pm it is watershed so no sexual behaviour can be shown on the TV Drama.
