Doctors first began to pacify unruly patients by performing lobotomies like the one attempted by Dr. Crabbe on Lucy, in the late 1880s, when Swiss physician Gottlieb Burkhardt performed what was considered a successful lobotomy. Lobotomies continued to be performed in some countries through the 1980s.
Although the first Metropolitan Railroad in London, also the first in the world, opened in 1863, the City and South Railway opened the first electric traction trains in 1890.
While lobotomies are often viewed as archaic, they were still commonly practiced in the 20th century. John F Kennedy's sister (the 35th American President) was lobotomised by a surgeon under her father's instruction in 1941 at just 23. She spent most of her life isolated from the rest of her family.
The episode title "The Good of This City," is spoken by Stanley Bone (Paul McGann). "Everything we do, we do for the good of this city and the benefit of those who build their lives within it."
