Nothing is diluted in this children’s show. The emotions in this story, where Clyde is reunited with his selfish, “useless” dad goes places more powerful, meaningful and impactful then most adult dramas - certainly more than most Torchwood! It reveals something about Clyde which gets under the surface of who he is as a character. The pain he has been through. And the space that Luke, Maria, Rani and Sarah-Jane fill in his life. They absolutely smash this “Sarah-lite” episode with a neat cameo from Maria and her Dad. The few scenes Sladen is in truly astonished me with the humanity and tenderness in her performance.
