At the start i found everything mostly annoying. Especially the side characters, gosh they were getting on my nerves. But as the plot moved on, it started getting more interesting. I liked Peri doing things. And Six doing things. Once the annoyance had lessened, an intriguing story, and probably a good dosis of Sixth Doctor bias as well, had taken over. When the story flips on its head and goes from a tale in a mysterious forest to modern social commentary i was -sudden, random but still predictable as the twist might be- still really getting into liking this one.  And after the halfway through, it manages to keep that steady quality of a pretty good story for the rest of the thing. For me at least.

It was also nice hearing the behind the scenes, about how the original writer was a fan of Doctor Who and was seriously disappointed to hear that his script wouldn’t be used. His son tells the story behind it very pleasantly. Absolutely do not skip the BtS on this one!
