For me "The Happiness Patrol" is a classic example of great idea, sloppy execution. It read much better in the Target novelization than it played on the screen.
As for Simm's Master, I agree -- too camp. Still, it was much better in the actual episode than in the previews, where they made it look like we'd be getting nothing but camp.
And didn't the reporter early in the episode seem like another actress trying to play Sarah Jane Smith?
