I've seen every available episode (including the psy trance telesnaps), I simply didn't recognise your descriptions
because of the differences in our perception, I guess. I'd genuinely love an episode where the Doctor genocides a planet full of racists, but the closest thing we have to that would be the Time War arc...
The episode you're citing showed The Doctor in tears over the fact that the coddled and privileged RICH kids (for that is how they were described) refused help from an outsider and were basically killing themselves. It's baffling how some people interpret things with the subtlety of a brick to the face!
I'd only vaguely heard Gatwa was leaving, I hadn't heard who his replacement was, and I'm half convinced that we still haven't. "Introducing Billie Piper" is not the same thing as "introducing Billie Piper as The Doctor" and the last regeneration was a bit of a red herring too... But I'm fine with pretty much anyone playing the role as long as they're good and not a cunt.
Why do you say the assumption of literacy is ableist? Could you guide us through your thought process please?
