It's one of the funniest and silliest Doctor Who episodes I've ever seen: Doctor Who does 1920's Agatha Christie Cluedo.

I laughed a lot during this episode. It was funny. Silly? Yes. Obvious? Probably. But well done and entertaining.

From the start it could have been a 1920's BBC drama, with a selection of British luvvies, and Felicity Kendall. It looked nice, and had that relaxed upper-class feel to it.

And then it, as it must, became a whodunnit, with jokes by Donna, jokes by The Doctor, Agatha Christie, Scooby-Doo flashbacks and a giant shape-shifting wasp.

Particularly amusing was the gathering to declare who actually dunnit and the endless finger pointing. There's probably lots of very clever Christie references in there that went completely over my head.

So, not much depth to pore over, not much of an arc progression, but it was still excellent fun and a great standalone Doctor Who episode.
