Objective Rating:
It's the sort of story that's very obviously made for kids, and it's not very well executed. But it's also a fun and imaginative idea. Includes devices such as the Tardis falling to pieces, the Doctor needing to reassemble his companion's face (resulting in a change of casting when he messes up), and Gulliver from Gulliver's Travels speaking only in lines from the book. Gets a bonus point for Zoe's bum.
