Critical reception
Matt Michael called the play the "most anticipated" of the Lost Season 27 stories in his review for Doctor Who Magazine, and found that it was a "fine end" to the season.[1]
gollark: Social standards for clothing are simply wrong and bad.
gollark: Why? It's a totally valid thing to do if you believe something is priced wrong.
gollark: Really, relying on these arbitrary divisions in the first place is stupid.
gollark: No, I mean it could give one or the other a non-population-related advantage due to differences in the geometry of some kind.
gollark: I guess it's possible that even one which doesn't know about parties might accidentally be biased due to (hypothetically, I don't know if this is true) one party being popular in low-density areas and the other in high-density, or really any other difference in locations.
