Well, this one was better! The particular torrent I got cut short before the credits, so I hope I didn't miss out on anything much.
The action started from the word go -- ninja-monks! Were they confused about what country they were in?
Again, lots of handwaving which doesn't bear a lot of examination, but this time it was Sufficiently Advanced.
Queen Victoria was nicely played, I think.
Yay, the women in the kitchen actually were able to do something helpful! While the men just stood their ground bravely and got killed heroicly (which does tend to happen in Who).
Heh, shades of Buffy with the intense research session.
Bit of a shock when Queen Victoria knights them and then banishes them. Makes you wonder... but on the other hand, she was right in a way too. I mean, Rose and the Doctor were treating it all like a lark half the time (especially with the stupid "not amused" bet). Then again, they have to treat it like a lark, that's what they're travelling for.
And we have the Torchwood mention at the end -- presumably that estate is where the "Torchwood" project becomes situated. Which I suspected from the first mention of the name of the estate.
