A ho hum episode for me. Interesting concept, but overall unmemorable. Interesting that this episode was originally broadcast so late in the season. 2nd to last I believe? When It was among the first 6 Tara episodes filmed! This is why watching the Tara episodes in production order not broadcast order, is so so important. Glad Optimum released them in production order for their sets! By the time viewers saw this episode, Tara had become a fully developed character, out of the wigs and much more confident. However, here we are back in the wigs and regressed again! I wonder what viewers originally thought seeing her look, personality and characterization change back and forth sometimes weekly throughout the episodes. ( I believe in the US the Tara episodes ran more or less in production order.)
Having said that, I wasn't overly thrilled with Get-A-Way upon first viewing, but have appreciated it more seeing it in production order context as I've watched Tara grow. Yet still not a high ranking episode for me. The setting was clever, Peter Bowles is always fantastic, and the invisibility concept interesting, but it just fell a little flat for me.
