In my opinion, this is not only one of the best stories of David Tennant’s tenure as the Doctor, but also one of the best pieces of Doctor Who I have ever watched. A fun slow-burning romp, that fizzes out at the end. the flying bus!), but I think it is a great juxtaposition for what’s to come. It’s sometimes a little too far-fetched and camp (e.g.

The Doctor decides not to take Christina as a full time companion because he doesn’t want to lose anyone else. It sets off the ‘He will knock’ arc which links the later specials together. But I like the use of UNIT and the military presence in the episode. This also wasn’t a favourite for many and I think it was a shame that the script didn’t live up to the great visuals of filming in Dubai. Merlin’s Michelle Ryan joins the Doctor as Christina in this Easter Special. Out of all the Specials, this is my least favourite, but it works as a Christmas episode, and for that time and audience. It does have many highlights still, the Cybermen are included very well and strangely seem to fit into the Victorian setting, and Dervla Kirwan is great as Miss Hartigan. However re-watching it now, in hindsight it takes away from that. The idea that David Morrissey was ‘the next Doctor’ played on the previosu announcement that Tennant was to leave the series. I like ongoing idea that the Doctor becomes less grounded without a companion and ‘needs someone to stop him’. The Doctor, last seen grieving at the end of ‘Journey’s End’, is now travelling alone after the events of the episode.

It tied up the Tenth Doctor’s time in the TARDIS perfectly and, practically it gave cast and crew time to work on Series 5, Matt Smith’s first series. The 2008-2010 Specials are in my opinion up there with the best of New Who (*cough* Series 4! *cough*). However, I’m raising the argument that some specials throughout the year could work. Obviously, this has not been at all confirmed, but if true, many fans would obviously be disappointed. Recently, a rumour has been spreading that for whatever reason, there may be less Doctor Who hitting our screens in 2016. Guest contributor Dan Peters takes a look at the 2008-2010 specials. It was cancelled for various reasons.Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Reddit Share on WhatsApp Share on E-mail Not initially intended for public release, it was eventually included on the DVD of The Armageddon Factor.Ī Christmas special of The Sarah Jane Adventures, Miracle on Bannerman Road, was planned to precede the fifth series. In the BBC's Christmas message of 1981, a small segment featured Doctor Who characters.Īdditionally, the BBC produced a short sketch in 1978 called Merry Christmas Doctor Who. Its Christmas theme was not especially obvious until its ending scenes, where Sarah Jane is able to relax following her adventure, and K9 actually sings " We Wish You a Merry Christmas". Though technically, therefore, not a " Doctor Who Christmas Special", it is now generally regarded as a part of "classic series lore". Indeed, it ended with a fourth wall-breaking "Happy Christmas" from the First Doctor to the audience.Īnother example was A Girl's Best Friend, the pilot for K9 and Company. It had almost nothing to do with the plot of that 12-parter, and was consciously written as a "Christmas sidestep" from the Dalek adventure.

The very first episode to premiere on Christmas Day was " The Feast of Steven", very nominally the seventh part of the 1965- 1966 serial The Daleks' Master Plan. Though largely a phenomenon of BBC Wales Doctor Who, there were two minor precedents for the Christmas Special in the original era of the programme. Like winter specials which came before it, the New Year Special took place on the holiday, and aired outside of the regular run. īeginning with series 11, the annual Christmas Special was scrapped in favour of a New Year Special, 2019's Resolution. The Next Doctor, Voyage of the Damned and The End of Time were amongst the best-rated episodes of all time. They were often the most-watched episodes of the programme in the respective years in which they aired.
Many Christmas Specials have introduced important plot points (e.g., new companion or a new incarnation of the Doctor) and were vital to series continuity. Every 25th December since the series was revived by BBC Wales, a special was aired on BBC One. The Christmas Special was a yearly tradition of Doctor Who between 2005's The Christmas Invasion and 2017's Twice Upon a Time.
