    A vast improvement

    I didn't find much to enjoy in the 12th series of the show, so it's a relief that this 13th year starts brightly with this holdover episode from Mike Scully's time as Showrunner.

    With a decent plot that doesn't fizzle out by the end, and lots of good jokes, this marks an improvement on what had come the year before.
