The show was fairly enjoyable, not a great episode, and the plot was a bit thin, but at least it was a decent introduction to a very British alien. The bad guys were well done, although the pilot fish were under used. I wasn't too keen on the fight scene, but I guess they're showing that he's going to be more in the Pertwee style of physical involvement (Venusian Karate?). I'll be interested to see how the new series goes in March, especially since they're bringing back some old favorites (Sara-Jane, K-9, and the Cybermen)...
