Doctor Who The Snowmen Synopsis & Movie Poster

Doctor Who The Snowmen Movie Poster

The BBC have released a “movie poster” featuring Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman for this years Christmas special The Snowmen.

Christmas Eve 1892 and the falling snow is the stuff of fairy-tales. When the fairy-tale becomes a nightmare and a chilling menace threatens Earth, an unorthodox young governess, Clara, calls on the Doctor for help.

But the Doctor is in mourning, reclusive and determined not to engage in the problems of the universe. As old friends return, will the Doctor really abandon humankind or will he fight to save the world – and Christmas – from the icy clutches of this mysterious menace.

The Snowmen stars Matt Smith as the Doctor, Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara, Richard E Grant as Dr Simeon, Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra, Catrin Stewart as Jenny and Dan Starkey as Strax.
