My 14 year old wanted to do a Doctor Who re-watch, so we started with [New Who] S1. It's all rather lovely and my hat off to RTD. He did an amazing job.

A lot of the first RTD series was about the hidden evils in British society, criticising them and fighting them, really. Any kids who watched it could not fail to be aware of that and I would like to believe that's one of the reasons why you have so many young people fighting against the system. Sadly, it's the adults who are in charge.

They are and that's another reason I'm sad over what happened with Harriet. :/
