Take me down to Paradise Towers, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...
Fresh off the heels of regenerating, the freshly christening 7th Doctor and Mel land at Paradise Towers so Mel can go swimming. Mad cap adventure ensues. Despite this being a completely fresh and original story, with no links, references, guest stars or ties to any past story, it's a big stinking mess. Sylvester McCoy is very entertaining and is the shining gem of the story. Mel screams her head off. The guest cast is varied and successful to different degrees. While the concept is good, the execution is lacking. It would be interesting to see this story done my Russell T Davies or Steven Moffat. But there is a lovely moral to the story. Pex lives!
