   I agree with that summary. What really made it memorable for me was the   
   marvellous performance by Katy Manning. I think that both she and Lis   
   Sladen were better actors by then than they had been some forty years   
   earlier, which I suppose is only to be expected. (I understand that   
   nowadays one isn't supposed to call them "actresses". :)

   I'd probably give it 8.   
      
   I know that some people turn their noses up at the SJA series, and I'm   
   glad that you aren't among them. I must confess that I rather turned my   
   nose up at it myself before I started watching it, thinking that it   
   would be "kid's stuff". But when I overcame my prejudice and began   
   watching, I found that it was very engaging, and sometimes incorporated   
   some more imaginative story-lines than most of those in "Doctor Who"   
   proper.
