Yes, let's end the episode with an earworm that makes the goblin song look like A Day In The Life! That's the thing that lost points for this episode. Still a good fantasy story. What was all the fuss concerning Jinxx Monsoon? eh? (But then some of us only wear jackboots on special occasions...) Jinxx was the right level of ham and camp and sinister combined. the plot went along at a decent rate. Decent effects. And as for Ncuti and Millie - for the first time since the show came back, this is the earliest and most definite feeling that both Doctor and companions are keepers.

7/10

This is an odd ball. The characters were well done, but the story didn't "fit" with me. It was well done but I didn't think the story was very strong. Maybe a rewatch or 3 might help.

As for that ending, oh please no more!

6/10.
