A fine story but the way it's told is just so fun I can't give it anything less.

Plot-wise, eh, sea devils infiltrating humanity and trying to destroy Scotland. It's a solid premise, but we've seen stories like it before. The execution however puts this over the edge.

The opening scene feels very much like a cold open from the show, teasing the threat and killing off a character to bring our main cast in, and then we get the one-two punch of Twelve making HHGttG and comic references while making light work of a villain, and Clara turning down a guy in the greatest way possible.

The setting here is great, a remote scottish isle for elites feels very real. The prime-minister being an alumni is initially set up as an offhanded comment which works great for establishing, but then also becomes a part of the plot really smoothly. The general tone of the school is also a great contrast to our two leads.

And then there's the stuff outside the school. Twelve in the bar is just a laugh, and Clara discovering the hidden underground base is really fun and brings back memories of Hungry Earth/Cold Blood from the art.

And then the ending, it feels a bit rushed but it's so fun. Everything with <s>David Cameron</s> the legally distinct Prime Minister is a blast, the quips from UNIT are all great. Twelve's picture for Kate in his phone has made me laugh twice already and I'm writing this review immidiately after reading.

It's an alright story with a great execution.
