Moffat put a dominatrix into Sherlock so you are almost certainly correct.
The problem with Moffat is he inserts very intelligent concepts into things making you think he is leading up to something clever or good and then can't follow through, eternal disappointment.
That was a great article. Thank you I'm really enjoying this series of essays. I don't know if anyone remembers the Monks trilogy from Season 10.
The villains are aliens who've managed to convince the entire planet that they are the benevolent shepherd's of humanity and have been guiding us for thousands of years. There's Egytian tomb paintings with Monks in them, Monks with MLK, Monks at Yalta etc. The only person who is immune to this is BBB, black bisexual Bill. Everyone keeps repeating "the Monks have always been here " and treating Bill like a lunatic when she points out they have only just appeared.
That what all the forced diversity in Doctor Who and the other modern historical dramas reminds me of. "The blacks always been here they built Stonehenge don't you know" and eventually when we're all dead maybe people will believe it.
To be honest it wasn't that bad. It had quite an interesting premise. There was something about the way the monks were manipulating people and altering history that made me immediately think of black washing. There was a lot of other stuff as well about earth being a big computer simulation.
I still think a season with a female Doctor could have worked if they had chosen a much better actress - someone with real talent, presence and wit - and had had much better scripts and - of course - ditched the more obvious clunky crow barred in wokeness for the sake of wokeness. No problem having an occasionally gay character but why do they have to rub our noses in it all the time?

I didn't know that about Sherlock. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Every female character he comes up with seems to be a dominatrix.

I haven't seen those episodes but it sounds typically ridiculous!

No wonder it has tanked!
I felt like they were set on a female Doctor and nobody else would do it so they just dragged in someone Chibnall knew.
She was awful.
