A return to the monster of the week format which when coupled with a little known mystery - the disappearance of Rome's ninth legion - makes for a satisfying tale. It's also a rare change of pace and format. This one is a lot more talky and slower than usual further evoking the feel of a classic series episode.
There are lots of fascinating and throwaway lines. For example, Nardole explains the mystery of the Marie Celeste in passing as the result of an interplanetary misunderstanding. That's not the first time Doctor Who has solved this particular conundrum.
