"Douglas Adams."
"What?"
"Douglas Adams wrote this."
"Oh! That explains a lot."
( More Under the Cut )
Tame layman thought this both clever and funny. It is certainly full of ideas which do all fit together, in a somewhat Douglas Adams kind of a way. There's nothing stupid about the script once you suspend a certain amount of disbelief (which isn't always true of Doctor Who) and it has Adams' quality of taking its silliness very seriously. However I think the production doesn't do the story full justice and I'm not sure all the actors really understood what was going on.
