Oh man, oh man. Are we gonna get a short trip called, The Doctor's Scarf one day? And/or The Doctor's Celery? Honestly, I'm kinda looking forward to it....
Anyway, I found this to a be a solid, if unremarkable story. Colin Baker does a bang-up job with the material, as usual (honestly, for him, I'd be absolutely shocked at terribly disillusioned to hear him deliver anything even slightly less than a perfectly Doctorish performance). That said, the little coda at the end was reall well-done--the bit about setting some things aside, while fighting to hold on to others, and the Doctor's knowledge that eventually, inevitably, everything gets set aside.
I kinda wanna see a sequel Or at least a follow-up scene. That speech made me think of McCoy's Doctor rummaging about in the TARDIS, and finding the garish coast neatly folded up and stowed away wherever the 6th Doctor last put it. Maybe he'd pick up up, brush some dust or strands of hair of it, and consider it for a moment... before once again setting it aside.
Anyone else voyaging through these early Short Trips with me? Am I the only one up for more stories built atop similar premises? Anyway, if you've listened recently, or remember it well enough to weigh in, what'd ya think?
