An allegory and attack on communism. With the robots as the huddled masses, the human crew as their borgeoisie oppressors, and Taran Capel as Lenin, the leader proclaiming communism while really controlling the gang in secret. Now, do the Doctor and Leela represent Stalin, Trotsky, or Ronald Reagan's threat to deploy SDI? I haven't figured out that bit yet.
