Oh & since we seem to be now opening up to Welsh fairy tales with Merlin etc. The Welsh version of the Lady of the Lake, has a synopsis of “A fairy tale of a lake fairy and the man who woes her with bread, and the three children they have together who begin the folk knowledge of medician in Wales”
Dr Whale could be a play on words- as in one of the fairy children who brought medicine/healing to FTL.
We know we are going down the Merlin/wizards/King Arthur rd in S2, so this also fits 😉
