I wish I could say this episode was a howling good time (werewolf pun intended), but I'm afraid it wasn't. David Tennant, again, a joy to watch as the Doctor, but he's not really given much opportunity to shine in this episode. And I understand Billie Piper wanted to incorporate more comedy into her role for the second season but..the humor for her character falls flat in this episode, reduced to somewhat irritating running gags trying to get the queen to say "I am not amused" and complaining Rose is naked (for the time period) since she just wearing a t-shirt and overalls. Also, she wears a t-shirt and overalls.
But the real problem with the episode is that it doesn't feel like a Doctor Who episode. Perhaps an interesting Doctor Who and werewolf crossover could be had but this wasn't it. Aside from the cool martial arts scene at the very beginning (which basically had no purpose) the rest of the episode is just a mildly entertaining werewolf story. 6/10
