I'm surprised that they decided to write a story about taxes and it turned out as well as it did.

Only the Doctor would play chess against a dog - and lose. While he goes through the story with a big smile and laughs, he's clearly caring of these oppressed citizens, and the Doctor clearly enjoys getting the best of the Company, as their rule is everything he stands against. I'm surprised how well Leela settles into this story, considering it's not something that Leela is used to. K-9 acts a lot more like a dog than he does in the future, and some of my favourite moments are between the two companions, and they are extremely close, something I really love about this TARDIS team. All three of them get a chance to shine, K-9 especially!

Holmes is clearly writing an anti-government political stance and this is shown through all of the villains - I'm sure this created a lot of controversy at the time. This doesn't give the story too much of a serious outlook, however as each villain keeps the story upbeat and fun, with the Gatherer being OTT and the Collector being high pitched. The guards aren't very good at their job, and I'm surprised that the citizens didn't revolt beforehand. The higher ups establish their threat early, even convincing someone to commit suicide - DARK!

I'm annoyed that Pluto doesn't look like Pluto - just get a planet that looks like Earth, and problem solved. It makes literally no sense for them to be on Pluto. The settings themselves are very bland, and I wasn't interested in the place, and I just think they should've put far more effort into the visuals of the story.

The citizens are probably the best part about this story - but far too weak generally. Of course, we get Condo, who starts off as someone with no hope, and develops over the course of the story and rediscovers life - and then we have the rebels, who are serious and get to have some fun after hiding at long last.

It's okay, but a little boring and dull, both plot-wise and in terms of visuals. The characters are the saviour of this though.
