I understand fan reaction to "Exile" was pretty negative, but I really enjoyed it as well; after three depressing stories (the two Doctor-as-villain ones, and "Deadline" which is discussed below), I was really relieved to hear one which was a bit more light-hearted. Apparently Time Lords change sex if they commit suicide (this may not be canonical), and so Arabella Weir's Doctor is hiding from them on Earth, staking shelves in Sainsbury's and getting smashed down the pub, having fled Gallifreyan justice. There is much chasing around the countryside by a comedy duo of Time Lord agents. Fun, though with a darker edge.
