Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes depict characters challenging entrenched power—Ettis through rebellion in the mines, Sarah through counselling a young monarch facing a manipulative chancellor. The Doctor’s role as outsider advisor catalyzes both; his authority fosters external and internal defiance against unjust authority.
