Whoa. Where did this story come from?? It's like in a line of DW episodes that are fun a goofy, you get a big hefty "Rosa" (S11) dropped out of the sky. This wasn't fun, it wasn't light, it was contemplative and heavy. The two side characters, Nettie and Jonny (a half-black girl and a Jewish boy) have quite the situation being that's 1945 and the world is against them. They have to deal with racism and rejection and the Doctor stopping into town to free an alien race that have been enslaved and sold as a toy to the children of this town. Like...whoa. If you only read one of this set of stories, read this one.
