Short Trips #9.12

Released: 23 December 2019

Listened: 4/30/20

Setting this one here because it fits in the short gap where Steven is alone with the Doctor. They end up in 1906, tracking some folks who are trying to steal the plans for the HMS Dreadnaught, for mysterious reasons. But most of the story is told from the point of view of Ruby, a servant who gets mixed up in all of this, and has to continually remind people (including Steven) that she’s neither deaf nor stupid, and rather refuses to be put off. This all occurs against the backdrop of the Suffragette movement, but Steven doesn’t mention having encountered that before.
