Agreed. It's among the nominees for a 2011 Nebula Award in the category
"Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation".
Suranne Jones was tremendous in it. I had previously been impressed by
her portrayal of a very different character in the Sarah Jane Adventures
episode "Mona Lisa's Revenge". She is as talented as she is beautiful.
