DESCRIPTION:Peter Capaldi’s transformation from Malcolm Tucker into the 
 Doctor\, was every bit as profound as the Doctor’s own regeneration. How
 ever\, swapping television’s finest satire for television’s finest sci
 -fi did not entail ditching politics. Science fiction from Mary Shelley to
  Octavia E. Butler\, has _always_ reflected contemporary concerns. This ta
 lk situates Peter Capaldi’s adventures in time and space in the context 
 of the War on Terror considering the ways in which Capaldi’s stories hav
 e explored the dehumanising effects of ‘non-linear’ and ‘hybrid warf
 are’\, in the search of impossible peace.
