As for your first question, I am unable to address it, being neither a greasey manchild nor a raving identitypoliticsloon.
The latter question is more easily answered.

More to the point does this mean we can have Malcolm Tucker back?
Whether it is shíte or not depends on how well it is written and what the storyline is like. Science Fiction itself does not have to be shíte unless one wants to status-signal by sneering at genres one finds inferior.
FTR, this series was a bit shíte imo. Others have been better.
