The story is split over six parts that when collected together are approximately the same length as a regular Dr Who episode (42 mins). Watching them all in one sitting is simple, and doing so means the story peaks regularly at the intended cliff-hanger moments. The twists and turns are well-placed, and with some minor tweaks it could've made a really decent live-action episode.
Thankfully, the voice work is good. David Tennant gives the same kind of enthusiastic performance that he gave the parent show; and the unmistakable tones of David Warner give life to the villain.
The only criticism I have is the quality of the animation. Despite being made in HD, it resembles some bad FMV from an early PS2 game. The gangly arms and clunky movement are an insult to the quality of everything else. The story's strong enough to keep you watching, but the first few minutes had me shuddering at how appalling the character models are.
