Okay, so The Robot Revolution was a space romp with literal machines, Lux was a trip to the past where the Doctor square off against the Pantheon of Discord, The Well was a bottle episode set in the future where the military is stuck in this one quarry and his companion gets shot, Lucky Day was a Doctor-lite focusing on Ruby and everything going wrong for her at the pub, The Story And The Engine was about an ethnic community under siege by a rebellious servant who threatened to destroy the planet, and now The Interstellar Song Contest is about aliens living out Earth TV programmes and the Doctor loses his cool because he thinks his companion is dead.

I’m not crazy, am I? This can’t all just be coincidence, can it? I know they were filmed back to back so that could explain the overlap between this and the last series and maybe I’m stretching with these, but they’ve also emphasised repeatedly how coincidence and chance feed chaotic beings like the goblins or the fairies or the Pantheon.
