"At least your special effects are improving."

Certainly solid. Feels like it needed maybe 10-15 minutes longer to really nail down its characters and story without being too rushed, but it's a fun concept.

Some of the writing is a little surface level, things like Ruby coping after leaving the Doctor needs a little more exploration I think. It's nice to have Kate and UNIT involved again, especially Kate as a stronger, even motherly figure without the Doctor here. Adored UNIT being in a little sleepy village, just like the 70s.

The villain is pretty fun, but again fairly surface level aims and motivations. With some fun monster costumes too.

Still with 8 episode a series now, we shouldn't be getting Doctor-Lite episodes.
