The Doctor believes the ends justify the means, which is the kind of behaviour I thought we were trying to get away from with Big Finish's take on The Sixth Doctor. Evelyn is unobservant and doesn't know her British history. The villain monologues to himself and goes on poetic rants about morality for no apparent reason, yeah this whole thing is a mess.
Another thing, Evelyn dislikes The Doctor's belief that Mary has to die, but when he asks her to ostensibly bring her to her death, she does so without questioning it, which doesn't work for her role in the story, nor where Evelyn is in her personal relation to The Doctor at this point.
Though, being fair, those are the worst elements and the worst moments, the thing in and of itself is decently written and really well acted, those elements and moments just really irk me.

Also, they set up the mystery of who Knox is, letting it brew, letting people speculate, "He is a mysterious villain who seems to know The Doctor" "He has a TARDIS, a stolen TARDIS!" "Is it The Master?" "Could it be The Monk?" only to reveal it's........ someone you don't know! Not even a Time Lord, just some guy! JUST SOME RANDOM DUDE!

Also, tiny thing, yes Doctor, your TARDIS was stolen. Stolen personally, by you!

David Tennant is in this... I've got nothing to say about that, other than the role being a bit uncomfortable, as it is a person with a learning disability or some sort of brain damage, and that is treated with the delicacy one expects of the mid-2000s, that is to say, not great, but could certainly be a lot worse.
