At the risk of igniting an independence debate, it seemed to me that this episode had something to say on the subject. With quotes such as: –
” Independent state of eyebrows …
I’m Scottish … I can complain about things …
… I’d probably blame the English …
… in the name of the British Empire …
…. Glasgow, I think ….
… Not sure you’ll get a vote … ”
If Doctor Who is considered to be that much of a British Institution – as say the Queen or the pound, were the writers trying to use their influence on the independence referendum given the timing of the episode?
— I’m not Scottish or have a bias either way – just an observation!
