This was really lovely. I am always huge when Who does a pure Historical, especially with a Doctor that doesn’t have a televised one (then again only 1, 2 and 5 have that, so…).
Anyway I really adore this Story, my Expectations were quite low and this is by no means my first exposure to Evelyn, who is excellent. And yet… I really did love this Story.
Colin and Maggie have such an energetic chemistry already in their first outing.
The whole Conflict about this Story is just superb!
Honestly this one has so many great Moments, for example when the Doctor and Evelyn are accused of trying to poison the Queen, this whole Discourse is just exceptional! And really shows how well the Story balances humor, as well as the subject, which is rather serious.
