Dr Who Christmas Special 2012

I can't watch it, can someone give me a run down?
Or a link to where I can watch it.
It is possible to download it, although this would be in breach of the copyright laws, and would, therefore, be illegal. There are many sites that offer this illegal download service. A search on google for, say, pirate, would bring up such sites. ;)
 
Thought it was good - certainly a lot better than some previous Xmas specials.

And did anyone notice that they've brought back the old tradition of the Doctor's face being in the title sequence? :D
 
yep, I was impressed by the new title sequence. Its a relief that they've toned the Tardis interiors steampunk vibe down to acceptable levels- without having gone too far and reproduced Davidson era white lab sterility
 
Loved it, love the new titles. Can't wait to see how the whole Clara/ Oswin thing plays out. Was in stitches a few times, especially the bow tie/ 'it's cooler' bit. Not too keen on the new look TARDIS though, but it'll probably grow on me tbf.

Kid builds talking snowman.
50 years later the kid is Richard E Grant who kills people to hide the secret of his talking snow.
Doctor meets woman. He doesn't want to save the universe any more.
Woman displays spunky qualities.
Oh go on then I'll start saving the universe again then.
Add a couple of alien cameos here and there.

Sherlock reference including pastiche of Sherlock series music.
 
It was fun enough but the plot made absolutely no sense, don't bother trying to explain it, it made no sense. And I stick by what I said before, the snowmen looked crap.

I was a little disappointed at the end as I had thought we were going to have a completely different type of companion. Instead of a spunky young woman from modern day UK it looked like we might get a spunky young woman from Victorian age UK instead, but it would appear not.
 
I enjoyed it, far more than the last 2 years Xmas specials , great acting , the story wasn't amazing but the characters made it.

Also nicely intrigued by Oswin, and she is very aesthetically pleasing .

Oh and it was funny without beig slapstick .
About to re-watch the Asylum of the Daleks to see how she fits in to this and the new series.
 
Yes there some genuine lol moments.

"Hello, I'm a lizard woman from the dawn of time and this is my wife". :D
So many quotable lines from this episode.

Plot made no sense, but I didn't really care. Enjoyed it far more than some of the other recent Christmas specials.
 
Which wasn't a first, It wasn't even a first for a Christmas special. Have the writers even watched the programme?

What's the other Christmas special the script used "smaller on the outside" rather than "bigger on the inside"? I've only seen them once each, so can't place it.
 
We enjoyed - one of the better Xmas specials, quite a few having been a disappointment. I think it was nicely character-led, and it'll be interesting to see a companion who has her own 'mythos arc', as gsv put it. Let's put it this way, it whets the appetite for the next series nicely.

I too hope to see more of Vastra and Jenny. Not least because we named our cat after the former.
