Episode 107: “Rosa”
from Debating Doctor Who Hosted by Allison Shoemaker and Alasdair Wilkins
We take a long, sometimes faltering look at one of the most powerful Doctor Who episodes we’ve seen in a long time. “Rosa” is a stunningly accurate, always respectful telling of the civil rights pioneer’s story. Does it also work as an episode of Doctor Who? Does that even matter? Two extremely white people try their best to capture the nuances of an episode that entirely deserves nuanced discussion. Plus we go on some odd tangents about one-shot villains and big American guest stars. Oh, and we don’t forget to roast “The Shakespeare Code” and Andrew Garfield’s incredible American accent in “Daleks In Manhattan”, so fear not.
