This story is definitely on the lower end of the series, and my least favourite of the pure historicals so far. It just wasn't very interesting.

The first Doctor is at his best here, bickering with his companions, getting into trouble, dressing up and causing mischief. But the other characters have very little to do for most of the story, especially Susan. The side cast are mostly bland and one-note, and it doesn't help that I couldn't tell most of them apart.
