I think the Episode is pretty okay overall, personally I am not too big on it but can see what they were trying to attempt with this. Sadly, I feel like this is a perfect case of two types of Stories clashing with each other.

In one hand you have the freaky Friday body swap between the Doctor, Rose and Casandra, which is a fine idea, on the other you have a story about an almost “Conspiracy” at New Earth with its Patients. Both Stories are a fine idea, mixed together they don’t work at all. I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I think with Series 2 it’s more clear that the runtime sometimes can be rather “too short” to fully delve into its potential of its Stories. Add this with the fact that it leans more into the lovey dovery of Rose and Ten, and you got an Opener that ranks very low most of the time for me.

Performance wise: Piper does really well, and you can tell the difference when it’s Rose and when it’s Casandra, unlike Tennant who still kinda struggles to find his foot after an excellent first impression. Most People here do a good Performance, but I really don’t like the Script, the overly flirty vibe doesn’t work for me at all. Then again most of the time while I want to try to like them, I can’t work much with most Doctor Romances and this one just doesn’t work for me. I can see the appeal of course and of course I am happy for anybody who enjoys them but this Tardis Team gets a bit on “my nerves” with it.

Overall the Story has some few nice things, the Idea of New Earth is cool but never goes too deep with it. The Makeup on the Cat Nuns is splendid, and it does an alright job to set up the romance some more between 10 and Rose.
