I really like this Story! Is it as good as many other Second Doctor Stories or Pure Historicals? No. But it really doesn't have to! It knows it wants to be a fun romp and I think it does success at it. Two is still in his more 'wacky' early phase and while a Side effect of Throughton still trying to figure out what kind of Doctor he wants to play, I find it more than amusing here! I think we get some hilarious Moments here, be it some great Slapsticks ('Your Eyes') or 2 taking a new Role as "Doctor Wer". Not to mention that we got Jamie out of this, seeing how he was portrayed here is very interesting, since it's such a drastic change compared to what we ended up getting later down the line. I will say I agree with one Point that was brought here, which is that Polly is really not well characterized here at all, she just comes across as too mean and that's not my Girl Polly!
Outside of that, I don't have many complaints. Sure it does suffer from being a Recon, some of its comedic Moments don't come across as well as they otherwise would, but I still think this is a very fun one for sure!
