'they're like children, they need us to look after them' pls tell me this is going to become a criticism of empire the women out of touch and paranoid - 'it's not one of us - not british. i don't know whether it's a native or some kind of strange ape, but it could be dangerous' 'it might not be british, but we are' the doctor refers to the creature as 'my friend' the doctor as the moral compass 'the national socialists were never barbarians. we did what we did for the betterment of the human race' 'the history of humanity is a history of abuse by the more powerful directed against the less powerful' klein from colditz in kenya 1953 - mau mau revolution - she longs for the nazi world that the doctor stopped in that story - doctor is dismissive of her wanting to bring the azi world to life but the episode as a whole is saying yes, nazi germany was bad but british empire has been complicit in horrors too
