For only being two parts, this story still packs in the memorable moments from a hyper-cruel Dalek to Constance dressing down the Doctor for his hypocrisy always running off. The idea of mystical forest creatures protecting humans is interesting too. Ultimately nothing special, but a good character story for all involved.
