This Children in Need charity special mini-episode is absolutely joyous.
We get the 10th Doctor meeting up with the 5th Doctor in a really lovely, funny and engaging little interaction.
It was marvelous to bring Peter Davison back and his banter with David Tennant is really funny and utterly charming.
Also this is well enough done to make it actually work as part of the ongoing series forming a link between Last of the Timelords and Voyage of the Damned. It massively improves on Dimensions in Time, showing how to do a charity special properly.
As a fan who watched all the 5th Doctor era as a kid itwas so special for me and indeed David Tennant was also a child fan of Davison (who weirdly became his father-in-law in real life). All the references are great and it is a joy to watch.
My Rating: 9/10.
