Doctor Who: Dot and Bubble

(spoilers for the most recent episode ahead)

I haven’t been talking much about Doctor Who on this blog recently but I’m very impressed by the new season. (Apart from “Space Babies”. Just not for me, that one.) “Dot and Bubble” is a very clever episode, with the most hateable main character Doctor Who has ever had, and yeah I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t work out until RIGHT before the twist that this was a planet of racists. It’s so obvious when you look back at it (Lindy immediately blocking the Doctor, Lindy saying that the Doctor looks “stupid”…) but I didn’t notice. So I guess this episode indicates I too have a bubble of sorts.
