We've been well overdue a pure historical, the second Doctor proving just how different he is from his first incarnation by disguising himself as an old lady and a mustached sailer within 10 minutes of each other.

It's a shame I couldn't see Jamie's debut performance here, as it doesn't come across via audio, but was obviously strong enough to get him signed up as a full time companion. As most fans can sympathise with, I found myself badly wanting to actually see what the episode was like. I have a feeling I'm going to experience a lot of that throughout Season 4.
