Also Rose, the first companion of the new series was constantly showing the viewers the working class’s perspective throughout all their adventures, and fighting for those people at every chance.
Then there are also characters like Dr. River Song and Madam Vastra, who are always shown as strong women who can fight their own.
New Who has always been woke AF I don’t know why they minimized it so much in the other comment. Like, yes the main doctor is almost always a white man, but the show itself has often (and even more so in recent episodes) had a clear “woke” agenda. And I’m not saying that in a negative sense. The showrunner for much of it was/is a gay “absolutely happily left wing” man ffs.
Edit: also, this thread talking about strong female leads jn Dr Who and not discussing Donna Noble is just wrong.
Also the second companion, Martha, was a black medical student. One of the best companions too, up there with Amy and Clara if you ask me. Wish she’d gotten more than one season.

Agreed. Definitely wanted to see more of her.
She’s in quite a few episodes of Torchwood, I think maybe a main character in one of the final seasons even
