Wait a minute , haven't I seen this story before ? Maybe not in an identical way but certainly in a generic fleeting way . It reminded me of some of the later McCoy stories from the late 1980s - not a compliment - and of The Beast Below and a couple of other NuWho episodes. Oh and a little bit of satire. A big Amazon gift voucher for anyone dumb enough for not being able to guess what mail order retail company Kerblam is supposed to be
Hold on is there anyone in the Universe that dumb ? The writer might think so because the episode constantly feels the need to spell out in great detail what is happening and why it is happening. Obviously the production team think the only people who watch the show have the eyesight of Stevie Wonder and the intelligence of a labotomised monkey. I know DOCTOR WHO isn't supposed to be taken seriously and is supposed to be great family entertainment but the classic show let the audience think for themselves and was all the better for it. Here however there is something very condescending about the way the episode talks down to the audience
Here's hoping it's a duff episode and the curtailed season picks up very soon , very quickly
