[Maurice Picarda]

2010's has just started.

 

[Santino]

I don't think ATOMIC SUPLEX will like it.

 

[emanymton]

The snowmen look shit.

 

[DotCommunist]

why is there a sontaran

 

[QueenOfGoths]

why is there a sontaran

Is he something to do with lizard lady? A butler type or something?

 

[DotCommunist]

no christmas dalkeks? christmas is cancelled

 

[ginger_syn]

I'm looking forward to this, I mostly enjoy the christmas specials. Cheers my christmas day up.

 

[Epona]

Oh sometimes the Xmas episode is kind of shite though. Don't get me wrong, I'm a massive Whovian, and have been for as long as I can remember (I'm not some Johnny-come-lately who is only into modern Who, I've been a devoted follower since the early '70s, been to conventions and all that jazz), and since Dr Who started having a Xmas Day episode and I'm not at all religious I've been referring to Xmas day as Who-mas Day for a few years now, because that is the highlight of the entire thing - but I've never yet seen an Xmas day one and thought 'that was a really good episode', let's get real, it's often kind of a bit shit.

Its got Richard E Grant in it - whats not to like

 

[killer b]

whats not to like

richard e grant?

 

[Stigmata]

I liked the one with Michael Gambon, the rest have been rubbish

 

[Santino]

richard e grant?

At least it should rule him out from actually being Doctor Who on telly.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

didn't work for colin baker

 

[Epona]

didn't work for colin baker

Very true, and Colin Baker was the worst Doctor IMO. That irascible grumpy persona worked for Hartnell, but bloody hell it was irritating when Colin Baker tried to do it.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

he is pretty high on my list of least favorite doctors. although he is in comnpetition with ecclestone who i just didn't think was very doctor whoish at all. colin baker was kinda unlikeable but believable.

With the flying sharks?! And godawful katherine Jenkins? That was terrible.

 

[Stigmata]

It had Michael Gambon, good use of time travel and Dickensian steampunk. It was ok.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yeah, I thought was probably one of the best of the recent offerings.

I know, I know, not saying much, etc...

"Halfway through the darkness..."

 

[spanglechick]

I thought the Victorian cybermen, two doctors thing was better.

 

[Lord Camomile]

he he, essentially the fetishisation of Victorian Christmas continues unthwarted

 

[Lord Camomile]

I actually seem to remember thinking last year's wasn't too bad, aside from all that "mother's love" bollocks...

we've only got a couple of episodes of hartnell, I bet if they had all of them the grumpy old man act would wear thin pretty quickly

 

[dessiato]

Looking forward to it. Don't think I'll get it live here, but will be watching it on whatever I can get it on!

 

[Firky]

*grumble dr who is shit*

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I thought the Victorian cybermen, two doctors thing was better.

i thought that satrted well but ended badly

 

[ginger_syn]

With the flying sharks?! And godawful katherine Jenkins? That was terrible.

Almost my thoughts exactly , not too keen on the first Tennant one either but I did like last years one it had charm.

Useful in fighting off New York's challenge to become the home of Christmas.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

I liked the Narnia one with the Ents.
