On the one hand, would Time Lords really tell tales of Slitheen to their young? On the other, this story is a brilliant story for kids. Just the right amount of danger and silliness.

The Slitheen are a perfect antagonist for a kid's story, horror and humour in equal measure. I'm especially glad that they don't dwell on the potential fatphobia that comes with the Slitheen, instead describing the human form as 'portly' once, and not mentioning it ever again as far as I remember (also a fun descriptor when the story involves a winery).

Generally yeah, this story is just really fun, don't have too much to say other than that I'd definitely read this to kids!
