Surprisingly , the twist is in an instalment that scarcely features the Doctor . Instead , " Lucky Day " focus on Millie Gibson’sRuby Sunday and her attempts to lead a normal life after exit the TARDISat theend ofDoctor Whoseason 14 . The instalment also bringsDoctor Who ’s new social unit teamback to the story , which is what leads to a problem that is certain to cause huge issues .

" Lucky Day " has an unconventionalDoctor Whovillain in Jonah Hauer - King ’s Conrad Clark , asUNIT finds itself battling a deal of conspiracy theoriesand having its name sully rather than skin to squelch a literal foreign menace .

compare to something like the TARDIS , UNIT ’s Time Window is implausibly archaic . It allows only modified use of the past , can not reveal the future , and is primarily used as a reconnaissance mission tool rather than anything else . That being tell , Doctor Whoseason 14 ’s two - part finale try thatthe Time Window can cause a threat in the wrong hands , and is far beyond the technology of what twenty-first - C human should have access to . On the other script , it was always going to happen eventually , as prove by theTime Hotel in 2024 ’s " Joy to the World . "

Doctor Who Season 15 Shows Exactly Why The Doctor Was Right To Be Concerned

Conrad’s conspiracy theories about UNIT have taken root

Fifteen ’s reaction to UNIT ’s Time Window inDoctor Whoseason 14 could be argue to come from a place of unnecessary paranoia . Future human organization , like the Time Agency , have far more advanced version of what UNIT has , which is evidence that the Time Lord ca n’t stop world from getting there eventually . Unfortunately , " Lucky Day " proves his concern was n’t out of place . WhenUNIT is on the verge of being dismantled during Conrad ’s blot campaign , the possibleness arises that all the technical school developed by Kate ’s squad could become public dimension .

The Fifteenth Doctor take up a backseat to the issue of Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday , but he still contend to strike during his reduced screen metre .

alfresco of UNIT ’s safeguard communications protocol , sophisticated technology likethe Time Window could well come into the hands of problematical leaderswho only desire to apply it for self - serve purposes . Of course , the Doctor did n’t have a go at it on the nose how the Time Window could be hold away from UNIT , but the fact that he was n’t primitive enough to think it could never find testify that whole was untimely to evolve the engineering in the first place .

Doctor Who Season 15, Episode 4 Will Have Major Ramifications For The Upcoming Sea Devils Spinoff

“Lucky Day” was a backdoor pilot for The War Between the Land and Sea

UNIT is in terrible shape by the end of " Lucky Day . “It begins the episode as the UK ’s elementary line of defense against foreign menace and ends up barely clinging to macrocosm after being so unfairly discredited by Conrad Clark . While this would be an interesting modification of events to search withinDoctor Who ’s hereafter , which I ’m sure it will be , it pass water even more sense that UNIT descend from grace in " Lucky Day " when it ’s considered that a spinoff show is on the fashion .

A full - powered whole would already have a fight on its hands , but after being bring to its articulatio genus in " Lucky Day , " it ’s ill-defined how many imagination Kate and her team will have uncommitted to them .

The War Between the Land and Seawill heavy revolve around UNITand their upcoming clash with the Sea Devils . A full - powered UNIT would already have a conflict on its workforce , but after being brought to its knees in " Lucky Day , " it ’s undecipherable how many resourcefulness Kate and her team will have available to them . It could also be that she and the others are acting without UNIT ’s authorization , asRedgrave ’s character seemed to be on the verge of being dismissed at the death of " Lucky Day . “Either way , Conrad has imperil humanity beyond measuring rod in hisDoctor Whodebut .
