Penultimate story of season 3. 818th and 819th Whoniverse episode and the 246th Whoniverse story. With Mona Lisa being the focus of this story I had wondered whether this has any story link to City of Death. Other than the Mona Lisa, the only reference to the aforementioned Doctor Who story is the Chinese puzzle box as one was also owned by the Scarlianonis. Who knows maybe it is the same one. A little Star Trek reference here with Clyde saying "Spocky". Who would have thought Mona Lisa as a villain and with a gun here. Mona Lisa switching places with Phyllis is similar to what happened in the Warehouse 13 episode Duped which I saw recently. With Mr Smith scanning the picture formerly occupied by Mona Lisa and now that of Phyllis, surprised he did not detect "This Is A Fake" written on the canvas by the Doctor in City of Death. Real life BBC reporter Lizo Mzimba makes a cameo as himself. Mzimba had reported for the BBC the casting of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. The first episode was not bad but down in quality from the previous episodes of the season. The concluding episode is much better. The concluding episode is Sarah-lite with her being trapped in a painting for almost all of the episode. This is somewhat like her Doctor, the Fourth being taken out of the action when he got trapped in the Time Vortex in The Five Doctors. Quite unusual on the way K9 makes an appearance here.
