Remarks

Didn’t care for this. Something in execution didn’t gel for me here – mostly the “Feed Me” stuff – felt really annoying, as was the jerk husband – a distasteful feel here for sure. The coronation stuff is interesting now that the Queen is gone. The taking people’s faces off their body through the TV was just a weird concept. Wish they had gone with a Logopolis reference in the finale given the radio tower. I do like the TV company in here (Magpie Electronics) continues to be referenced going forward through the 13th Doctor’s era.
