That was just what I needed. Nice for Dr Bairstow to have an adventure. Loved it,just the right level of seasonal spookiness.

Good story! It's important that the dead be well raised. As with children, we've all seen what happens when they're raised poorly.

When can I buy this one?

What I take from it (aside from the joy of more St Mary's), is this.... We have, at every moment, the choice to take an action which restores integrity where it's lacking (because integrity is always lacking), and thereby move us all into a just slightly greater wholeness... If we choose to. (and after there may be fruit drink)

I'm so glad Dr. Bairstow was able to get out and about on this one. Must've been a nice change for him. Lovely story!

Lovely. In equal parts spooky and evocative. I liked that Dr. Baistow got to be part of this emotional scenario.
