What was billed as a comical episode proved to be a well thought out and crafted piece of work. I would say it was a homage to the memory and works of Agatha Christie. In fact it has made me want to watch that brilliant film, murder on the orient express.
But, back to the episode. Some points that should be highlighted, the giant was ok and I think essentially a British reference to an established fear and hatred of wasps in the UK. Would it have been the same if it had been a giant kitten?
The character’s where very strong and the dialogue was equally good. The tongue in cheek innuendo was amusing and I liked the line, ‘there are no children in this house and there are not likely to be any!’.
This is a welcome addition to the series, but a little obvious at times.
I give this 7 Tardis’s.
