Wrong, wrong, wrong.

This story is typical stupid Hincliffe-era gothic horror shit.  And,
like anything associated with horror, it is stupid and pointless.

Where's the comedy?  Where's the silly, light-hearted fluffiness?
Where's everything that good Saturday evening entertainment should be?

Nowhere!

Far from everything coming together just right, this is a production
(and arguably, an entire producership) that gets everything wrong from
the concept downwards, and the end result is something that's as drab
and worthless and depressing as any horror film.

Thankfully, Williams would eventually come along and redeem the Tom
Baker years.  But at this point, that was still a long way in the
future.
