Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

I am lame enough in my love for Seven 'n' Ace that the bits I liked best were when they were sitting on the grass, hanging out.

The fact that they can do this and nothing else and be AWESOME just doing that says everything that needs to be said about Seven 'n' Ace.

It also confirmed my longstanding suspicions, that the Cybermen have been crap ever since the show went into colour.

Shiny metal jumpsuits crammed with tall, sculpted actors with perfect buttocks didn't happen until color, though!

why hasn't New Who given us awesome female characters like Ace and Bambera?

Because then you'd have to know how to write for people.
