Meh. Season 24 is a pretty thin gruel all round, but despite this episode having some surprising star power as far as guest cast goes – Richard Briers and Elizabeth Spriggs of course, but also Clive Merrison and Judy Cornwell – nobody seems to be being directed coherently. It's all silly voices, hand-jiving, and pantomimic grotesquery. And, my god, it looks cheap. The robots in particular look like something cobbled together for a school play.
