It was a delight to see David Tennant & Catherine Tate back in business and was very nostalgic. The increased budget certainly showed and The Meep was a cute addition to the doctor's villains, even though the plot was rather basic.
However it felt like a good 2/3 of the episode was dedicated to being a lecture on trans/non-binary ideology and gender politics. I don't get why this took up so much time of a sci-fi/fantasy show and it felt more like something shown in a secondary school as an "educational" video. It really took me out of the story and felt forced.
Overall, I'd give the episode a 3/10. I really hope the next 2 specials focus more on the actual fictional aspects of the whoniverse.
