Ruby Tuesday has been having a lot of bad luck, and that luck is getting worse, fortunately The Doctor is on hand to offer a helping hand.
Typical Christmas nonsense, it seemed to fit the bill for silly season, I just loved Ncuti and Ruby, he instantly won me over, I think he's going to be a great Doctor.
So this episode is mainly dedicated to introducing us to Ruby. Millie Gibson is going to be great, I'm sure we have lots to learn about her as the season progresses.
On the plus side, the acting was excellent, credit to all involved. The production values were excellent, and I'm getting vibes that Anita Dobson is going to play a part going forward, surely a villain in the making.
On the debit side, I wasn't crazy about the storyline, and I'm not sure the goblins worked. The goblin song, that was shocking, sorry Russell it was cringe, on par with The Toymaker's dance. Too many cheesy smiles, please can those be toned down a little.
It's going to get flack for ticking all of the boxes, but it is The BBC and Disney, that's not going to change anytime soon.
7/10.
