Doctor and company get a plea for help and go to investigate. They impersonate employees. A few red herring villains. Nothing too bad that I can't imagine as being a Big Finish 2nd doctor adventure.

One thing (just one?!) that bugged me in this episode was the word "Robophobic". More precisely, how they changed the definition of the word.
We all know the word was first used in the episode Robots Of Death and the 4th Doctor defines the word in detail to very reasonably mean "unreasoning fear of robots due to their lack of body language".
And in this we get, "oi, that's robophobic" which now has been dumbed down to have the same meaning as homophobic.
Ironic that the word homophobic should by the same definition, mean "fear of humans" not "fear of homosexuals".
And then there's the fact that it has actually been changed to mean "hatred of homosexuals" not "fear of homosexuals".
I've heard that Chibnall is deliberately creating episodes that cross off a PC checklist. If this is the case, he's very short-sighted in his scope for the show.
I think this will end up being the first series of the show that I don't buy on Blu-Ray.

As Graham is specifically cites the overall creepiness of the robots as his starting point, I'm not sure how your point really makes any sense. Bit of a fishing expedition.

"is specifically sites" ... I don't understand what you're saying there.
I explained my point pretty clearly, no fishing required. This section is episode discussion, putting your hands over your ears shouting blah blah blah when someone doesn't agree with you is not discussion.

Ahh, yes, that typo really makes my point unreadable. "As Graham specifically cites the creepiness of the robots as his starting point..." He finds the inexpressiveness of the robots strange, which is when the Doctor makes her quip. So I don't think it's far from your point as you are suggesting.
And I'm not covering my ears - trust me I wouldn't have even responded, rather I'm rolling my eyes at a flimsy argument.

The show is a pile of mutated crap.
The plastic maybe being Nestene might have saved this disaster a little but it wasn't so it didn't.
Agenda driven shows almost always lack imagination as this shows immensely.
I'm rooting for the bad guys all the time now but I still like the companions as one dimensional as they are so far.
