Love it. It's one of my favorite episodes, despite its length. They keep 
the slow burn going for ten episodes, gradually leading to the discovery 
of *another* *Time* *Lord*, and even that is cranked up higher by the 
Doctor summoning his people's authorities.

It's great when he's urging everyone to hurry, HURRY, get out of here 
before they arrive. The Doctor is *scared* of those guys. The mighty 
wind upon their arrival and the Doctor's own reaction showed the 
incredible power they possessed.

Later, of course, they became clowns who alternated between arresting 
the Doctor and making him President. When they first appear, though, 
they are terrifying.
