LOL. I'm lovin' the banter in here.

Anyway, I turned in the paper this afternoon. I'll let ya'll know what my teacher's reaction and grade are when I find out.

And please, feel free to keep discussing this topic. I'm really quite interested in learning more about DW's place in British culture as well as how British culture is reflected within the series.

Remembrance Of The Daleks from 1988 is set in London 1963, and certainly alludes to the open racist tendencies of the era.
