A very witty one, with lots of quotable lines. The fact the Fourth Doctor has tried to teach K9 to make donuts is funny, made hilarious when he admits he gave it up because the dog kept using the wrong jam. The sugary icing on the top is when the scene ends with K9 entering the console room, his snout covered in jam!
My only complaints are that there's no framing story for Romana to give her account. She wasn't one for keeping a diary. The sound also sounds a bit off, there's a slight reverberation like the recording booth had an echo or something.
And I'm not the Tythonian ambassador.

I give it a 4.6 rounded up to 5. It may not make my top 10 Big Finish DW audios, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can't actually think of what might have made it any better.

My first thought on listening to this was that they were touching on all the fat phobia stereotypes. However the ending fixed all that.
