A fun look into the kinds of things Mickey's getting up to post-Aliens of London, Pre-School Reunion. Keeping an eye on alien things, meeting up with people who might have news about The Doctor or UNIT, etc. There's some fun characterization for him too with the offhand mention that he likes to play football with the kids on the estate.

The alien threat here also just works for this kind of story, someone looking for The Doctor, knows he goes to earth, and realises Mickey has a connection with him to tries to use that. The alien kids are also pretty charming and Mickey's able to use that connection to trick them into letting him out which works for his character.

Nothing special or standout, but fun.
