Verily, I love it for its great worldbuilding and its idea of Romana I as an essentially wounded being, regenerating because she longs to be her own person. Of course, the UST and the hot snogging doesn't hurt either.

I need to be more familiar with the Cartmel Masterplan in order to really have an opionion, but I already harbour some antipathy towards Cartmel for dissing Romana.;)
