   Agreed. It's among the nominees for a 2011 Nebula Award in the category   
   "Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation".   
      
   Suranne Jones was tremendous in it. I had previously been impressed by   
   her portrayal of a very different character in the Sarah Jane Adventures   
   episode "Mona Lisa's Revenge". She is as talented as she is beautiful.
