I don't believe the take away from this episode is that Capitalism is good. The way the workers are treated shows that. But that fanatics are actually worse. It's a clunky way to put across a poor message. And yes, I have always believed that Jodie Whitaker was miscast. Just look what Jo Martin does with the little time she has on screen and tell me that Jodie was the best choice.

I think "capitalism has its issues with the occasional spot of exploitation, but we shouldn't react against this too strongly and all we really need is the managers to just be a bit nicer" seems to be the main takeaway. Which isn't quite "capitalism is good", but it is quite milquetoast and centrist.

Yep, basically the Chibnall era is VERY Lib Dem.
