This one just good. It knows what it wants to be, and it’s success in what it wants to be. Something which a few Episodes failed at it, one of those Cases was just the previous Story for Hartnell.
But back to this Story, well to put it shortly, I had a blast watching it. While not a favorite of the Hartnell’s Era, the Comedy here works quite well, even better than with the Myth Makers. I think Jackie Lane’s Dodo is at her best here and gets a lot of fun things to do here. Steven getting threading to be shot if he stops singing will never not be good. And in general, this Story is just filled with good or funny Moments.
The Songs are great here, people who say they are the worst in Who certainly need to rethink their Word of Choice, they are GOOD!
Really I must admit I don’t get why this one is so disliked, after having quite a few dark Stories having such a silly Story is really refreshing and a nice change of pace!
