Don't Shoot - He's British! part four

Doctor Who survived its end of history moment. The last three years of its first run saw a refocusing on the postwar Britain of paternalist, class-led social democracy not as the present or near future, but as the past just gone. The pastiche of Paradise Towers is drawn from the 1970s with its acknowledgements of J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise and Monty

Always nice to see some positive analysis of the under-rated Delta and the Bannermen!

Cyclic history or not, I would like to know how Lady Peinforte is attacked by Roundheads in 1638! Although as you note with regard to several stories, the Cartmel era is more concerned with postmodern reference than with strict historical accuracy.

Interesting that JNT was reputedly a Conservative, although it doesn't surprise me.
