This is a fun story and a fond farewell to Maria. I appreciated that it was loosely connected to The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky. Sad to see Maria go but this story had some great character moments, especially with Alan and Chrissie.

A cute and successful little story hosting a surprisingly early exit for Maria - which you’d think was a once in a lifetime role for a young actor. The Sontaran is used well, its purpose being the same as seen in The Sontaran Experiment - except it’s a significantly more exciting story this time round. I will sincerely miss Maria and her hilarious family. Her mum gets to save the day in the end!
