Doctor Who Radio Times Cover

This weeks Radio Times, on sale from Thursday 2nd December with listings covering 11-17 December features and exclusive article on this years Doctor Who special.

The Christmas edition goes on sale on the 4th December.

Matt Smith: “It was a great privilege to do it,” he enthuses, aware of the institution the Christmas Special has become since it was launched with David Tennant in 2005. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do since I started the show. I love Christmas, plus I’ve always wanted to film something in July that has got snow in, loads of snow… it’s very Christmassy.”

Katherine Jenkins: “It was far worse than any nerves I’ve ever had for any performance,” recalls the mezzo unequivocally, a note of terror still audible in her voice. “I spent a lot of time thinking about it,” she adds. “It’s such an iconic show, and it’s one that we watch as a family. I just thought, ‘I’d love to give it a try.’

    Just look at how much EFFORT they’ve put in to the episode, just imagine….
    I think the christmas special this year is gonna be great. I’ll bet you on my bed that this episode is worth watching. TV and Film legend, Micheal Gambon is on it as Karzan Saradick! Then Karthine Jenkins in her first acting role! a shark thing! whats not to love?
    Steven Moffat’s brilliant writting for this is a twist on a christmas carol. all points of the programe will be telling you, ‘DON’T GO ON ANOTHER CHANNEL!’ And you won’t, because it’ll be sooooo good.
    The Doctor must save Amy and Rory for they are trapped on a crashing space liner! Only the dr can save the day, but saving the soul of a lonely miser. Tune in on BBC One, on Christmas Day at 6:00pm, TUNE IN! for your sake! TUNE INNNNNN! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    While Miachel Gambon and Katherine Jenkind look happy to be publicising A Christmas Carol, Matt Smith looks slightly bored.
