The 1983 classic Doctor Who serial “Enlightenment” is the only serial in the show’s history to be both written and directed by women.

It’s also a lovely allegorical space fantasy with deep concepts, excellent direction and visuals, beautiful costumes, a memorable female antagonist and even just a bit of camp for fun.

So next time you hear someone raising a stink about women “ruining” science fiction, kindly remind them of the above facts.
