In terms of the novelisation, one of my favourite stories.

Just like the way it rattles along and then that kick of a cliffhanger at the end of part 4.

If only all six parters had been done this way. Skip the padding and end the story on a two part different tangent.

Yes, the realisation is cheaply done on television, but I kind of like this mad Tardis interior that can be anything from a victorian asylum hospital to a swimming pool. It was as if the Tardis had stolen interiors from all different times and places and made them it's own.

I certainly much preferred that loopy, born of necessity, concept than the drab, generic rubbish we got in JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE TARDIS.....
