I love it. Love it, love it, love it. It hits perfectly, at least for me. An apotheosis of goofiness that is not ashamed of itself, a musical episode in the middle for some reason?? AND meta jokes? Was this written specifically for me?

Unfortunately it does have some major flaws. First of all, the tonal dissonance between two great ideas with similar concepts in common, but totally dissonant with each other. I can't imagine a rework where it would work. For the record it goes like this:
- The Doctor and a pirate first mate sing a song about who's a better pirate
- Oh God, this man died and it's all my fault. I killed this man. I have to live with this for the rest of my life.
- The treasure is on an island that looks like a donkey 😆😆

The musical part also leaves a lot to be desired. It's clear that 2003 Big Finish wasn't ready for musical productions. Still, I quite like it in tone, even if it's unlistenable at times.
