I'm reading the novelisation of The Awakening, and I can't help but notice Eric Pringle's choice of words here. I wouldn’t have differentiated between the noises people made in the Awakening, and I certainly wouldn't have sorted it by gender. Apparently, when making the same noise, women scream and men cry out. Also, Turlough yells, not screams. Some choices have been made here, and I think it had to do with how people react to someone in distress.

Not to interpret data for you, but I think the assumption that the women on Doctor Who will scream a lot colors the interpretation of what is or is not a scream.

"I'm Maria! If you let me, I'll stay by your side forever. I'll never yell at you, and I'll never be a burden to you. Isn't that what you wanted, James?" "I remember everything now. You're not Mary. And you're not Maria, either. You never existed from the beginning."

“At the sound of James’s voice, the woman slowly turned around. Suddenly, she let out a burst of scornful laughter. “Why can’t you get your facts straight? Mary’s dead remember? You killed her. She’s not here anymore.’”

“Well then, what do you want? Oh, I see. You’re trying to be nice to me, right? I know what you’re up to. It’s always the same. You’re only after one thing!”

“The repulsive monster, with a face shining like the Virgin Mary, floated freely through the air, the open rooftop allowing her plenty of space to move. The sharp claws that extended from her fingertips were jagged like dead branches, and the edges of her metal cage were like knives. With these she relentlessly attacked, with the same kind of obsessive fury of a woman madly in love.”

“I don't want to see anyone. Men, women, anyone.”

I feel like it's probably a good time to share that, in the novelisation of the Super Mario Bros movie by Todd Strasser, Daisy's father is revealed to be named "King Bowser"... not to be confused with King Koopa, the villain played by Dennis Hopper. They are separate people

(The IMDb page will try to tell you that that's what he's called in the movie too - this is a lie, he's not named in the movie. Maybe it was in an earlier draft, but definitely not in the final product)
