It kind of annoys me when people say they don't like this two-parter because it's so racist... it is set in 1913 England of course it was racist! Sure this is a fantasy, sci-fi drama but these elements of realism are what make this series dark & gritty. It actually makes viewers think & ask questions, perhaps a kid watching this would ask why the Doctor is treating Martha this way which can open up a conversation about race & history, isn't that important?
