The Doctor takes Clara back 1190, to Sherwood Forest, so that she can fulfill a lifelong wish, to meet Robin Hood.
More camp than a row of glitter covered pink tents, it has no fear in sending itself up, but, it should be black and white, with Troughton, Jamie and Zoe, it feels more fitting to the 1960's.
Capaldi and Coleman both give very good performances, there is a zest about Jenna that I've not really seen before, she seems so comfortable and having great fun with Clara. She is a vision of beauty in that red dress.
I am a huge Tom Riley fan, and he proves in DaVinci's Demons how good an actor he is, he does a good job with the character of Robin, I can't help feeling that they underused him, and could have used his services in a better way.
Best bit for me is the final talk between the Doctor and Robin, it's a nice end to the story, a bit of agitation between them.
I think the story is a bit weak I guess, it's reverted back to the CBBC format, appealing only really to a much younger audience. The first two episodes from Capaldi had been so good, much darker and deeper, this just felt a bit weak, it is a bit of fun though.
Mark Gatiss does very much love or hate it stories, this is a big thumbs down from me. 4/10.
