This is why I watch, for the ideas that repeat through history. I can’t believe someone hasn’t made Frankenstein but with an AI bend

It was already a common trope in sci-fi at the time, but it's still mind boggling to see how they could imagine something like the internet and some form of AI at the time.

Also, we get to see the Doctor in a London Pub in the 60s, so great serial
