"Both the Doctor and Harris face dismissive authority figures who refuse to heed their warnings: the Great Intelligence (through Arnold) dismisses the Doctor’s defiance, while Robson dismisses Harris’s evidence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s struggle against a deceptive, otherworldly intelligence (Episode 28) mirrors Harris’s struggle against an earthly but equally stubborn and hostile authority (Robson in Episode 29). Both represent outsiders challenging oppressive systems.
