I have only seen this rather surreal Doctor Who serial once before, on original transmission back in 1982, and at the time (like most of the audience and fans) I really didn't like it!
Since then it has gained a reputation of being much better than this original negative reaction indicated and it will be interesting for me to find out if my opinions have changed too, whether simply on re-watching or after finding out a bit more what was going on from the trivia track, commentary and plethora of featurettes on the disc...
Find out the answers in the upcoming review; whatever the outcome I'm sure there will be plenty out there who disagree with me and I certainly welcome comments!
Or at least I will when I have time to write up the odyssey of watching the whole disc in one night, including an extra watch of the serial with commentary and trivia track on and all the extras...
