Review of Women’s Day Off by Saturn

15 January 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Definitely the weakest story with Audacity so far. While there is a lot to be said for this being an important story, it all feels a bit disjointed. The title, 'Women's Day Off' plays very little into the overall story, with it mainly focussing on a young girl and her teacher who happens to be a woman so she's on strike. Then there's the random part with the alien who's trying to get home, which honestly felt like it could have been cut. I feel this episode would have felt better if it had instead been a prequel of sorts to the Sarah Jane Adventures story Mark of the Beserker, as the item that causes the young girl to gain powers is remarkably similar to the pendant from that episode in its abilities. I did appreciate Audacity and Charley showing their solidarity with the women, although Audacity feels a little half-baked in this episode, as you'd think she'd have more to do in an episode all about women being treated equally.
