I really thoroughly enjoyed the story. I thought Katie Manning did a great job
with the voices. I thought she was spot on with Jon Pertwee. If I closed my eyes it seemed as if I was watching a real episode.

The timmey - wimmey aspect was super. It had a little bit of " r u my mummy" to it every time they did the baby doll cry.

I have to give this a solid 8!

I felt this spent too much effort making the time loop work at the detriment of what was at time some splendid work by Katy, though at least she got her shoes in the end!

Always love listening to Katy Manning, this one wasnt as good as some of the others, again the timey wimey (see how that phrase has been adopted in retrospect)nature of the story, left it feeling a bit hanging in the air, with no real ending
