42 isn't that bad actually. It's existing purely on adrenaline and not much else, but once you accept that then it trundles along nicely at its breath-taking speed.
( More under the Cut )
Beyond the central conceit 42 isn't trying to do anything particularly different. It has, essentially, a mind control monster, a base under siege, and a lot of running down corridors. The advantage of that is that it is, basically, inoffensive as Doctor Who stories go. I'd have liked them to work harder at making the real time, actually, real time, but suspect that would never have worked for modern mainstream action telly.
