In reference to the class discussion, i think the doctor's rootlessness has huge implications for his class status at leats viewed from a british standpoint. The mark of the british middle classes focusses around homeownership and a certain poltical inertia. they are stable and solid and reliable. To be pseudo-homeless, a traveller, puts you in either the udner class or the aristocracy who ahve the wealth to maintain a travelling home and the arrogance to behaviour as the Doctor does. Basically I just don't buy him as middle class at all. (Though the show itself in middle class in many ways as it relies on a fundmental inertia of good triumph and settled established society reasserting itsef and that this reassertion is good.)
