Personally I like the story, and it cannot be a coincidence that when Russell T. made 'The Sarah-Jane Adventures', he had her living in Bannerman Road
Ken Dodd is never a 'problem'. He wasn't on screen that long, a couple of minutes at most.

As for the jolly old Tollmaster? I thought he was there to show how sadistic and ruthless the Bannermen were, by murdering him.
