Yep, I think the shows they parodied were well chosen for the likely market of DW. The only one of the three that isn't already international is Trinny & Susanna, and there are *similar* shows in many other nations.
My only gripe is that this stoy, and "the long game", are set ridiculously far in the future, which overstretches the credibility of what's going on bearing *any relation at all* to early 21st century human activities. But like Terry Nation, Mr Rusty seems to like big numbers. Oh, and the faux precision of it being *exactly* the years 200000 and 200100 that things happen. I know, its just anaid to the viewer to make the numbers easier to remember but... It sticks out like a sore thumb, y'know?
Why is everything always "100 years later", or "returns to earth every 25 years (exactly)", or.... [EXITS GRUMBLING AND LATE FOR A MASSAGE]
