Really? Worse than '42' or those New Yoik Dalek atrocities? Or even that hotch-potch of a Kylie special? (I think it perhaps suffers compared to the christmas specials simply because people aren't so certain to be drunk when they watch it)
I was glad that the metal rays *weren't* more involved, were left as an instinctive, inhuman threat - I was dreading the introduction of a cackling B-list soap star announcing that they were the Metalrayite Queen or similar! But I agree with you about the fly-people - seemed unfair that the humans all get back for their chops, but the Doctor couldn't make them a similar promise about a big pile of crap.
