This is a nice surprise - a Paul Magrs script that does not use the word "benighted" even once. While this script does have much of the Magrs whimsicality about it, he manages to keep the story fairly under control. This time out, Magrs has decided to rehabilitate the image of his own alternate Time Lord, Iris Wildthyme. The setting is 1920s Paris, at the height of modernist revolution in the arts, when nearly every important European and American artist lived in or around Paris. Iris seems to be involved in a scheme to rewrite history by removing famous artists from Paris when they are supposed to be there. Of course, The Doctor cannot stand a time meddler who is not himself, so vows to "defeat" her. By the beginning of Part 3, the audience should be clued into what The Doctor is not clued into. There is some fun to be had taking the mickey out of modernism. The story is fairly entertaining without being too taxing on the listener's credulity.
