I’m not sure I needed a ‘Doctor Who does Scooby Doo’ story. I’m not sure overtly referencing the user of the Scooby plot formula in the script made the lift and shift any better. The ending sees The Doctor overloading the mind of the enemy with his powerful thoughts - it’s something we’ve seen many times in the show before. I’m also not a fan of McGann’s big speech written in the style of Tennent’s Doctor - it felt too indebted to then contemporary television show.

Regardless - it’s still cozy fun.
