3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract. Look at the mark scheme to pick out three possible answers for this question.

4) Now focus on Question 2 - the 20 mark essay. Use the mark scheme to pick out one way Doctor Who reflects 1963 and one way His Dark Materials reflects 2020. 

Traditionally, Doctor was a white male, most often with a younger female companion, reflecting and reinforcing traditional gender roles of the times, with the man as powerful and in control and the woman as helper. Women’s helper role often been to provide an emotional, empathetic side to the programme. Reinforcing the idea that men are active, action-centred while women are more passive, emotional and sensitive
