There must be thousands of plays and films in the fictional Doctor Who Universe inspired by the Doctor’s travels. I can easily imagine Peter Capaldi’s Doctor not being a fan of watching such a performance, which makes for a strong hook. This gives you the joy of experiencing a familiar tale retold in the grumpy presence of the Doctor.

It’s enjoyable to see Bill investigating in his absence, as well as the added opportunity for her to go on a date, giving more insight into her love life than we got to see in the TV series.

It’s a very simple story which offers a pleasant, warm feeling.
