I can't believe I finally got the Scooby-Who of my dreams, and it's specifically Doctor Who and the Backstage Rage, and it's in Victorian London, and it's even in a music hall – in short, everything I could ask for... and they went and made it racist. The Doctor and Leela specifically, even. Bob Holmes you have a lot to answer for.

It's hard to rate this one because even aside from the racism (which took it down a star), the last two episodes are a real letdown after the first four. I wish they'd been condensed into one episode, because I think I would have liked that a lot better. I'm not really into true science fiction as opposed to fantasy and comedy and historicals, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. I also don't think it looks as good as everyone else seems to, especially coming off The Robots of Death, whose aesthetic I love.

Also Litefoot is fine, but nothing special, and Jago is annoying. Loved seeing Basil Brush's cousin as the Giant Rat of Sumatra tho!
