I totally agree with your review. I’m showing my age but if I was producing dr. who I would have made stories like Fury from the Deep, The Ark in Space or The Seeds of Doom.. Nothing like this at all. Full of the cheesiest moments and with that awful comical orchestral music… I mean I would have had scary music … it’s just had to be over the top as it was supposed to be a Christmas episode. Humbug… a little horror would have been better. I popped on dr. Who 5th doctor and watched Earthshock … that went down well with a slice of my Xmas cake.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like seeing Adric explode.
