Political and social commentary inDoctor Whois nothing new, however.
The series has always offered stories that reflect on ourselves and our culture, society, problems and history.
But while you do, also notice its interesting, if slightly confused, political commentary.
Its also just really good.
But this episode is also about issues that are even more important today than they were then.
What more could you want?!
Also, the serial features a literal cliff-hanger, so thats fun.
However, the serial is worth a watch for a couple of reasons.
Obvious, but no less important for that.
Bernard Cribbins performance as Wilf absolutely sells the gravity of the situation as he says Its happening again.
His contribution toDoctor Who, however, is quite different.
A beautiful, tragic episode, and a suitable tribute to the historical figure who inspired it.

Issues: Homophobia or rather, the lack of it!
