I did not expect a story comprised of seven missing episodes to be as enjoyable as this is. While I do think they could have cut down as episode for a tighter story, this serial is remarkably engaging. I mostly wasn't bored during it, and found that there were enough pictures to keep me engaged. I didn't get nearly as much knitting done as I had expected to.

Marco Polo and Ping-Cho are both likeable and realistic characters. I like their dynamics with the main cast, as well as the dynamic between Khan and the Doctor.

The story was a little repetitive with the constant escape attempts and all the things Tegana tried to do throughout their travels. Thankfully, it didn't drag the story down too much.

The costumes and sets look gorgeous, even in black and white telesnaps. This is a serial I would love a colourisation of, though I know it's an impossible dream unless the film is found.
