It's grim up north and things turn a lot more grim when crimson cadavers appear in the canal. The Doctor's already on the trail but soon Vastra, Jenny and Strax arrive, although they struggle to avoid the banal. There's a bit of shenanigans and some capering about but the plug should really have been pulled to anul. Especially as the end will bug you and the kindest thing would be to put this episode out of its misery and cull, impale with a nail, do not pass go and send it straight to jail.
