Doctor Who

In service to your point though, Davies ... wrote those characters to have those roles. He could have written different characters who would offer some insight into segregation from the other side, whether that meant replacing some of those characters or just adding more.

It's not that hard to come up with a way to introduce one of these employees, especially late at night when the leads arrived.
