Basically, #DoctorWho does a pirate story. Nearly all of this takes place on a pirate ship. This wasn't well received when it was new, but I never understood that. Was a bit of fun pic.twitter.com/51vVCppzRW

romp, not to be taken too seriously. The pirate captain (Henry Avery) was Hugh Bonneville from Downton Abbey. His character was mentioned prior in 1966's "The Smugglers". pic.twitter.com/QQ6HywENsw
