Given the astonishing constraints of time and budget that a little vignette like this must face, I have to give Steven Moffat kudos for pulling off as much characterisation and even perfunctory plot as he did.

Well - there's a fair bit of dross across the whole run. I think its inevitable when a show runs for 26 years pretty much non-stop... I think the important thing is that when the show is good it is amongst the best TV out there...

On the other hand there's very little Doctor Who that isn't dated, slow-paced, occasionally awkward, and severely hamstrung by production constraints. On that level I'd feel the need to offer a few pre-emptive excuses to anyone I was holding it up to!
You take the rough with the smooth, but on its best days it was smooth enough not to chafe *too* badly. Not enough to distract from the good bits, anyway. :-)
