In the second part of their look at the consequences of time travel, Ben and Mark travel thousands of years in the future to tackle 'The Ark' - a Doctor Who story that seems as relevant as ever.

As the humans and Monoids cope with a deadly disease, Mark ponders the blame game in the current COVID-19 pandemic and wonders if the Monoids represent some hope for us all. Meanwhile, an Elizabeth Sandifer piece forms the crux of a discussion of the serial's racial politics and how deliberate half of it actually is.

Slavery, racism, class uprisings and deadly pandemics all discussed with a good quantity of wine and whisky in their bellies. What could possibly go wrong?
