As for The Twist?

I liked it. It worked for me and brought things down to earth after the OTT campness of the previous twenty minutes.

If the Moffat episode next week doesn't redeem the series then there's a good chance i won't bother watching the remaining five episodes.

Pretty much every episode from The Star Beast onwards has been really poor, with the exception being The Giggle which i mostly enjoyed.
The basic premise was good - travelling back in time to see The Beatles in their early years, only to discover they were recording terrible songs ( though, walking straight into Abbey Road studios and into the recording studio so easily was stretching it a bit, but anyway ).
But then we had the usual OTT villain, a boring bit and then a musical number to fill up the last ten minutes and the whole interesting idea was forgotten.
I?ll watch the Moffat episode at some point, but I can?t honestly see me watching any more of the series if these two stories are anything to go by.
