he character was not representing the opinions of the creators
I dunno, with all the arguments about ageism... but they are all mostly predicated on Donna not being allowed to get her groove on, which seems to have been played for laughs; how can you claim it's ageism that Jack won't make a play for Donna seconds after he's been all over SJS?
Anyway, I'd love to know if the number 22 was thrown in by Daniel, joking about his own age, or if he just read the line written for him. The fact that he is 22 may not really have Hidden Secret Meaning.
Considering what a point Sarah Jane made of being liberated from patriarchal norms, and considering how comfortable she was with Harry and the Doctor, I'm thinking that she is/was a proponent of free love.
