Doctor Who has been many things in its time – adventure tale, mystery, comedy and tragedy. However the series has also worked as a fable of sorts; a legend whose tales are grounded in the moral tradition of right vs wrong, good vs evil.
Season 11’s finale Planet of the Spiders is a prime example of this approach, featuring major characters searching for peace of mind, clarity and understanding of past mistakes in their lives...
Comments and questions very welcome! ;D
