I always found Boom Town a delightful, if lo-cal, confection. For Captain Jack's cheezy innuendo to (again) the fart jokes, to the Four Heroes setting off in search of a monster armed only with their (synchronized) cellphones, it struck a lovely balance between nudge-nudge, wink-wink for the grown-ups and legitimate menace for the young'uns.
I'm pleased to learn that NLSS Child at least enjoyed some of it and didn't contradict my thesis too much.
Definitely not a classic story, but a nice low-key adventure with a bit of moral complexity and a lot of relatively subtle character-development for the seasonal arc going on.
Once I find the chance to catch my breath after this year's attrocity, I just might follow your lead and take another look at the early editions of NuWho. (Or maybe I should just go right back to the beginning? That would keep me busy for quite some time, wouldn't it?)
A hoot! A hoot, I say!
