I wouldn't exactly characterize the 80s as a particularly innocent era. Most likely, nobody cared by that point. Doctor Who was in its final stages by then. Ever notice that in general when a fiction program decides to make a political statement, it turns to utter ham-fisted crap? I'm imagining every show like that, in the kind of ultra-earnest tone of a street-corner communist, and it doesn't surprise me at all that the show was cancelled.
