Dear Russell T Davies | Dot and Bubble 

More so than the ACTUAL series, no less.

@@iananderson2777 Woah there, buddy.

It's not a satire and it's not lazy. It just wants you to think that that's what it is. Dot and Bubble is about a writing concept where there's a Hero, a Villain and a Victim. Over the course of the episode, they all change places. It's incredibly well done. We start with the Victim - Lindsay. She can't do anything for herself. She's a Victim. The Villains are the Slugs. Then there's the Heroes who want to rescue her - the Doctor and Ricky September. By the end of it, The Victim (Lindsay) becomes the Villain (because she's a racist.) The Villains at the start (the Slugs) become the heroes (and the episode never actually names them as the heroes but there's quite a lot of social media chatter that names the Slugs as the Heroes of the episode - which is what RTD wanted.) And so the Heroes at the start, the Doctor and Ricky September, become the Victims in the end. Ricky dies because of the explicit instruction of Lindsay and the Doctor dies because he's a White Saviour, and he can't save the poor benighted heathens from being themselves and getting on the boat.
