well still not sure what to make of TATM, certainly not as awful as Fear Her (which I've never rewatched since the original broadcast) but to me it hardly makes it out of the bottom ten worst stories ever either, it started off on the wrong foot trying to pretend it was something it didn't have a clue it was pretending to be, clue Film Noir is meant to look dark and all the scenes, costumes and probs washed out almost to monochrome on purpose, not like the 6th Doctor's coat doing the nasty to a Christmas Tree! The Happiness Patrol got the exact same thing wrong 24 years previously (wow how time flies!) lessons should have been learned. I'm now getting a little worried about Christmas, the Moff is 0 for 2 so far, another stinker and I can't see how he'll be allowed to continue on in the job, which is a pity as his era's had 3 truly epic stories in it so far (Vincent and the Doctor, The Doctor's Wife and A Good Man Goes To War).
