This one is lightweight, and mostly a joke on the title, which refers to a film Hartnell was in, in 1963. The story itself revolves around the theft of the World Cup in 1966, which is a strange story that's worth reading about if you're not familiar. Much of the humor derives from the fact that it’s set in Dodo’s native time, so she understands what’s going on, and Steven is totally at sea. The rest of the story is serviceable, with a small amount of misdirection that’s not too hard to see coming.
