One thing I loved about Witchfinders is it’s the first and really ONLY time that the Doctors gender works against her.
Yeah the bad guys got a LOT more closer to her than they would have if she was a man, and there were a few ‘the Doctors a man, you can’t be them’ but it was never explicit.
Here’s the first time she understands ‘hey it’s not just a fun set decoration, there’s actual real life consequences to being a woman.’
Like here’s she’s genuinely shocked that James would threaten her not bc he’s a bad guy and she’s the Doctor, but solely bc she’s a woman, something that she never had to deal with before
And then here’s the first time she gets told she’s not in charge, she’s less intelligent, she’s less than, she’s degraded by being called ‘wee lassie’ when she’s the oldest, smartest and most experienced person in the room, and she’s being told she can’t be a leader bc she’s a woman and she has to pretend the least competent companion is in charge of her (after she just risked her life to save someone) and she is absolutely stunned and PISSED, like it never crossed her mind before she would have to deal with that.
Like I love this episode bc of that so much, and no I didn’t want every other episode hounding it into us that for a large vast amount of history women were seen as less than, but one episode in 3 seasons could have been expanded a bit.

i wish she kept her hair messy and unkempt like this. the straightened blonde bob is giving karen cut. it needs to be more tousled for the doctorishness of it all. sidenote she is sooo hot here after vanquishing some war criminal freaks. yes even in the hat

Honestly my biggest complaint about s11 is the lack of Historical costumes for the fam. There's just something about the Doctor's friends in full 'accurate' dress while they just prance around looking like a gay fever dream.

King James in the witchfinders has such a Horrible Histories vibe, I love how they did his character

every now and again i remember the person i saw complaining that Ryan was the character with a new ~love interest every week, which is funny anyway considering how not true it is (It’s basically just Bella from Orphan 55. I will be generous and include King James on this list, but i don’t think he was interested in Pursuing A More Intimate Relationship, ngl!) but is even funnier when, if you actually tally the character with the most game, i’m Pretty sure it’s actually Graham who wins the babe magnet award on sheer numbers.
