This one really just fails as a historical in a way most others don't. The French revolution makes sense as the Doctors favourite period, but here it's just completely stripped of anything interesting and just made into good Vs bad; the revolutionaries being evil and bloodthirsty for no reason whilst the counter-revolutionaries and British are orderly and friendly. Just does a complete disservice to an interesting and always relevant period of history. The actual plot isn't that interesting either, feels like various characters going to and from prison endlessly.

It does have a great TARDIS team though and enough to enjoy from them to stop it being truly awful.
