Step 2 - relationship of power (who is subordinate, who is dominant, how does this tie in with gender?)
Doc Martin
- doc is dominant over the others, shouting can get away with it - shows his higher social class - he has a higher job than them, more qualifications
- doc is closer to the camera - more power
- doc has more camera time
- doc has a higher class to others, looks down on them, talks formally and powerfully
- doesn't have time for the policeman, more power than him
Stereotypes
- middle class - doctor - uptight, having to do other peoples jobs for them, from London (supports his stereotype), patronising with others getting in their way, dismissive of people, blunt/rude to people,
- working class - plumbers - "go with the flow" (dialog - sound) - represented as lazy, uneducated, unprofessional, incompetent, generous "free of charge" (respects him as he is a higher class)
Younger plumber challenges stereotypes - references literature - positive representation and audience can have more connection with them
Know the community, opposite of middle class
"Bodmin" - local term - doc doesn't understand - find evidence for regional identity
