That was... fine.... I guess?

Overall there's some fun ideas here: creatures of light that form symbiotic bonds with humanoids, a panto cast getting turned into animals, a historical christmas with mummers (fun fact, I've done mumming a couple of times!).

But then it's all just so rushed and thrown together. The one off companion feels like a mouthpiece for panto jokes more than an actual character, and you never stay in one place long enough to breathe. Sure you can get through it in less than 10 mins, but I've read plenty of other shorts that lasted that long that were paced well.

This feels like someone took a bunch of doctor who-y ideas, and threw them into an exaggerated piece where the plot doesnt' really matter and is just a vehicle for fun. It's just a shame that unlike pantos, it sort of forgets that last part.
