I fear we may have discovered the first episode of the Moffat run which has too much TBO.
I guess it depends on your definition of TBO. As Iain as pointed out, Moffat is working in a science fantasy-land and making up the rules as he goes along - so there's a dream-like quality which I think saves it. The trouble with a lot of RTD's stuff is that he was *trying* to be Science Fiction Action Adventure and he kept stretching things beyond the realms of credibility. I personally don't think spitefires in space is any more TBO than clockwork robots or the nanogenes from TEC/TDD...
