The BBC Children in Need Appeal Night takes place every year in November. The Appeal show is a whole evening of entertainment on BBC One with celebrities singing, dancing, and doing all sorts of crazy things to help raise money.

There are also plenty of one-off specials of your favourite programmes, which in the past have included Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, The One Show, EastEnders and much more!

      If the CHRISTMAS episode is like most of the 8th series episodes then no more DOCTOR for me I’m afried to say.

    Theory (I didn’t think of it): Father Christmas is a time lord.
    Makes sense in a kind of eerie way:
    bigger on the inside bag,
    lots of jobs in one night,
    continuing Gallifrey search theme.

    Quite honestly, this is just a theory, and if it turns out to be true then I apologise for potential spoilering.

    You know, after the darkfest that was Dark Water/Death in Heaven, and the darker tone of the last two Christmas specials it’ll be nice to have a lighter episode for the Twelfth Doctor’s first Christmas special…

    I don’t really care how if this turns out to be a bad episode (though I’m sure it won’t) I just want either Clara to stay with the Doctor or tie things up properly before leaving.

    That was really good. Dan Starkey as an elf! That’s the least costume he’s ever worn in Sci-Fi. Capaldi’s hood looks good. Clara’s back. Not only a dark doctor but a dark…SANTA!!!

      The elves seem like they might get annoying after a few minutes, but I’ll give them a chance. Dark Santa is going to be interesting to see, though…

  • Doctor Stu

    November 14th, 2014 - 10:11pm

    Hmmm seems interesting looks like Santa might be some sort of villain maybe or one of those people who think they’re real then it turns out they’re not. I’m a bit more excited for the episode after this clip then I was after the final though to be honest.

      Actually, I’m not sure this will be seen in the US, so I doubt it will be, but I’m sure American fans will be able to view this once it’s online.

      Okay thanks. Hope it is on BBC America if not then I can wait.

    It’s amazing how much Nick Frost looks like Richard Attenborough when he is in the Santa make-up and suit! 😀

      I hope it isn’t Santa in the TARDIS or Aliens at Christmas because a name like that would kill it for me. Nor would I like a long winded name like In the forest of the night or Mummy on the orient express because they’re just irritatingly long to spell.

      ‘A Gift for the Doctor’ would work for me
