"Both events feature a character subjected to brutal psychological and physical interrogation by a militaristic authority figure. Harry’s observation of Sarah’s torture and his subsequent rescue mission parallels the Doctor and Harry’s later capture and interrogation by the Kaleds, reinforcing themes of captivity and resistance under authoritarian regimes."
