The writer Juno confirmed somewhere and it's meant to be an allegory of palenstine and israel genociding them and Eurovision's biggest sponsor being a Israeli company but the message is kinda lost because there's no consquences for the corporation and a hug solves The Doctor torturing a genocide victim. It's honestly the weakest episode of the series for me.

Ah, I didn't know that about the Eurovision sponsor. I haven't watched for like 15 years..

Also yeah, I completely forgot about the torture part! How is Belinda still so nice to him after all of this? I think I said right at the start that it was interesting to have her be kidnapped by the Doctor and I hope that she doesn't just turn into a regular companion but here we are. She is already praising him as the best person ever and glossing over torture
