Christmas 2013 on the BBC New Video Highlights
Christmas 2013 on the BBC
Kat & Alfie, Rab C. Nesbitt, Mark Gatiss, Mary Berry and Stephen Fry will all be helping the BBC to celebrate Christmas this year, as it brings a dazzling array of talent to its screens over the festive season.
Danny Cohen, Director of Television, said: “Brilliant Christmas telly across Drama, Factual, Comedy, Entertainment and Religion is something licence-fee payers rightly expect from the BBC and this year’s holiday schedule delivers that.
“We have massive events such as the Doctor Who re-generation and the incredible return of Sherlock, as well as festive specials from hit shows including Strictly Come Dancing, Mrs Brown’s Boys, Call The Midwife, Bad Education, and the Great British Bake Off.
“And of course there are brand-new treats such as David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny and we’ll be showing a wide range of religious programming, including a live broadcast of The First Eucharist of Christmas from Westminster Abbey.”
In Albert Square, Danny Dyer arrives as new landlord of the Queen Vic, whilst Janine’s thoughts turn to murder. In another part of the East End, Jenny, Chummy and Sister Julienne confront a new enemy in Call The Midwife, before peace and love are restored. In The Time Of The Doctor, Clara and The Doctor must go to a quiet backwater planet in order to learn what some strange signals mean for his very existence, and it’s wedding day in Halifax for love struck Alan and Celia as their big day dawns. And the year’s biggest television mystery will at long last be answered – just how did Sherlock fake his own death?

Whoisthedoctor
December 6th, 2013 - 9:28pmNo he’s the doctor
The Doctor
December 7th, 2013 - 5:08pmin the first episode he was credited as doctor who
Dalek the Supreme
December 7th, 2013 - 7:00pmHe’s properly called the Doctor, but I guess you could call him Doctor Who. I call him the Doctor, as not to confuse with Dr. Who from the Amicus Dalek films or the First Question.
matt smith
December 9th, 2013 - 3:05pmyes very true
Doctor who
December 10th, 2013 - 5:36amyes Matt smith
Tardis’nt
December 6th, 2013 - 3:22pmthere is another one of these – and clara tells her family that the doctor is her boyfriend!
Obsie
December 6th, 2013 - 6:28pmYes I’ve seen that, and to be quite honest I don’t like the idea of The Doctor giving Clara a playful slap on her derriere, or nates if you prefer, at all funny. I’ve got over all the snogging bits, but this is going too far.
the astroanut of death
December 6th, 2013 - 7:34pmI think this just shows that the doctor is an alien
he dose not no what is appropriate and what is not
Obsie
December 6th, 2013 - 8:18pmThen thank heavens that Clara is a teacher now, and will educate him in a little bit of social decorum. Otherwise it will be the “naughty step” for him, or take away his sonic for a week.
Dalek the Supreme
December 7th, 2013 - 7:02pmI have to agree, that is really not Doctor-ish. Captain Jack Harness-ish, yes, but DEFINITELY not Doctor-ish at all!
doyouhearthem
December 6th, 2013 - 10:20amThat shot of Jenna (Louise) Coleman at 1.54!!!!! WOW!!!!!!

DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 6th, 2013 - 1:51pmNo, it’s ‘Death Comes to Pemberley’, another show she is starring in over Christmas.

Cyber10Dalek
December 5th, 2013 - 4:30pmShould the Cybermen be using the same storage units that we saw in NIS? Just for opinions sake.
Obsie
December 5th, 2013 - 4:43pmIf it isn’t broke don’t fix it, besides they’ve been busy upgrading themselves with their sartorial appearance, so there isn’t enough money for home furnishings as well.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 5th, 2013 - 5:18pmHome furnishings – CYBER-IKEA !!!!!!!!! 😀
Obsie
December 5th, 2013 - 6:16pmVery good, I should have seen that coming. Has someone been standing in the knife draw again?
Anonymous
December 5th, 2013 - 3:38pmI think after peters first season they should stop useing the daleks for a while
DALEKSKITTLES
December 5th, 2013 - 3:04pmTHE NEW DALEKS ARE BACK ASWELL!!!! 😀 plus now don’t hold me too this but apparently there’s a dalek civil war which could explain the photo of the dalek looking like it’s in a battle ground
DALEKSKITTLES
December 5th, 2013 - 3:54pmSorry new daleks aren’t back 🙁

simon
December 5th, 2013 - 1:11pmWell that object that looks like a big Dalek Gun could be the weapon that is hiden in the black panel on the back of the new Dalek paradime. It folds around the side and atatches over the normal gun. But as alway we will have to wait and see.
Obsie
December 5th, 2013 - 4:27pmEither that or one has been going to the gym on an extensive workout routine ,or it’s been taking Thal steroids!
Cyber10Dalek
December 5th, 2013 - 4:31pmThat would be interesting to see
Obsie
December 5th, 2013 - 4:34pmMind you, at least it wouldn’t need to go on the treadmill.
Dalek the Supreme
December 5th, 2013 - 6:10pmI hope it is the hidden weapon on the Paradigm Dalek, I’ve been anticipating seeing that in action ever since I first heard about it!
Dalek the Supreme
December 5th, 2013 - 1:05pmEverything looks exciting! I can’t wait! 😀
bigfin20
December 5th, 2013 - 11:23amIs that… The Doctor… Leading a group of… Silence?
Doctor Stu
December 5th, 2013 - 1:59pmIt looks like he’s facing them so he might be giving a speech to them or something
Matt Smithy
December 6th, 2013 - 8:17pmI think he’s going to make an agreement with them as ultimately they want the same thing (for the question to not be answered) so maybe he just convinces them that they don’t have to kill him and leads them to battle due to events in the story.

December 5th, 2013 - 10:30amI think I am actually going to explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 5th, 2013 - 10:24amWhat on earth is that beside the Dalek ?.
I learned from a friend that rumours have been going around on Internet Forums about a brand new Special Weapons Gunner Dalek . . . . which kills the 11th Doctor.
Just rumours mind you.
Dalek the Supreme
December 5th, 2013 - 1:06pmI hope it does turn out to be true, Special Weapons Daleks are epic.
MattIsaDalek
December 5th, 2013 - 5:52pmHope so, that would be an awesome send off!
doc fan 2000
December 5th, 2013 - 7:13pmI’ve been told the cybermen will kill and sacrafise themselves from history and that would mean the daleks would have just blown up the 10th doctor at canary warf meening the doctor regenaration system would go from the end of the 11th doctor’s life to the middle of the 12th doctor’s life.
Still they are only rumours from the internet.
