In Simon Tolhurst's review of The Fearmonger he wrote that Jonathan Blum had obviously drew on the rise of One Nation as an inspiration for the story.
Some years ago at the defunct Outpost Gallifrey forum I had asked Mr Blum whether Sherilyn Harper was based on Pauline Hanson and he definitely didn't deny it.
One of the news article had referred to the 2010 season as the fifth series. The BBC has actually been promoting it as Series One. Since it is being promoted that way perhaps as a future reference that it should be referred to in future issues of DE as either Matt Smith Series One or Eleventh Doctor Series One.
