After last week's superb '73 Yards', it did not seem possible that Russell T. Davies could have come up with another episode of similar quality, but with 'Dot And Bubble' he has managed to do exactly that. We are in an alien city in the far future. The inhabitants are young, rich, and good-looking. They are only required to work a minimum of two hours per day. The rest of the time they spend on social media. They wear 'bubbles' containing images of their designated friends. Like Facebook only much worse. The Doctor attempts to warn 'Lindy' ( Callie Cooke ) she is in deadly danger, but she ignores him, so Ruby steps in...
This is a story I have always wanted to see in 'Doctor Who' - social media becoming a cover for an evil conspiracy. Lindy and the other people around her are under threat from giant slugs ( who look like something out of a 1960's 'T. V. Comic' strip ).
The ending is a real shocker as Lindy is revealed to be a not very nice person after all. Davies infers that racism will still be around for years to come, despite the best efforts of political correctness.
