Christmas 2010 Doctor Who Special

In recent years I’ve really enjoyed the Christmas Doctor Who specials.  As part of tonights BBC Children in Need Appeal they showed us a sneak peak, teaser trail for this years Christmas special… and it look excellent, everything you could hope for in a Christmas special.

The episode seems likely to be called “The Christmas Time Lord”.   The trailer starts with Doctor Who  coming down a chimney, Michael Gambon playing a Scrooge like character supported by Amy, Rory and Katherine Jenkins.   There’s lots of snow, Dickensian characters, an Amy on the bridge of what looks like a Star Ship.

I also understand that for the first time this year Doctor Who fans in the USA will be able to enjoy the Christmas special on Christmas Day, so I’m sure the whole Internet will be awash with reviews and comments on Boxing Day.

Well, only 35 days to go until we get to sit down and enjoy this new episode and I can’t wait.

If you haven’t seen the trailer yet you can find it here.

First Christmas 2010 Advert Spotted

With 175 days until Christmas 2010 I’ve just finished watching the last in the current run of Doctor Who on BBC Three.  There it was, right at the end a great big plug for Doctor Who this Christmas.  How ironic that the first advert for this Christmas was spotted on the BBC of all places.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this over the coming weeks.  I firmly believe that there should be a law against advertising Christmas events and products before Halloween has been and gone and Firework night is just around the corner.  That said I can’t wait to see the next episode of Doctor Who at Christmas.
