This has to be the most absurd episode to date. But i loved every second. Even being able to see the wires on the BD edition it still seemed convincing that he was picking up statues and park benches etc.

The comedy element works really well, but for me - the double headed alien with twirly brain ariels and hairy spock ears was (unintentionally) hilarious and only bettered by the venusian twin kids with dongly antenae and very well dubbed adult voices.

Im guessing these aliens will very much be the thing that makes or breaks this episode for most viewers. But they cracked me right up.
