   Wrong, wrong, wrong.   
      
   This story is typical stupid Hincliffe-era gothic horror shit. And,   
   like anything associated with horror, it is stupid and pointless.   
      
   Where's the comedy? Where's the silly, light-hearted fluffiness?   
   Where's everything that good Saturday evening entertainment should be?   
      
   Nowhere!   
      
   Far from everything coming together just right, this is a production   
   (and arguably, an entire producership) that gets everything wrong from   
   the concept downwards, and the end result is something that's as drab   
   and worthless and depressing as any horror film.   
      
   Thankfully, Williams would eventually come along and redeem the Tom   
   Baker years. But at this point, that was still a long way in the   
   future.
