November 19th, 2011 - 12:38pmThat creaking noise at 0:42 sounds like the Silence. Probably isn’t though. I quite like the title. Officially the longest Doctor Who title ever with 30 letters in it!

November 19th, 2011 - 10:52amthe doctor the widow and the wardrobe is good but like the Silurian 3rd dr story i think it shoul be doctor who and the widow and the wardrobe

November 19th, 2011 - 4:43pmIt could not really have been that as then Moffat would not have been able to rip off yet another classic story title.
Last year we had The Christmas Carol. this year we have The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.. oh sorry I meant The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe…
Not very original is it!

King of the weevils
November 18th, 2011 - 9:44pmIt looks amazing!!!! Really good! How will it beat last years though? Last years was the exact definition of a Christmas special. Every other Christmas special (excluding the next doctor and maybe voyage of the damned) could have been shown in august and there would be no difference! It would have been a normal episode really.
The CIN sketch was good. Not amazing but not bad.
dw2005
November 19th, 2011 - 7:29pmMy favourite CIN sketsh has to either be the 2005 one or the 2007 one, “Time Crash”.

November 18th, 2011 - 8:51pmi saw the C.I.N special for DW it was quite funny (i’ve seen better) and the trailer was good. i like the trailer. in other words COME ON CHRISTMAS!
PandoricaOwner
November 18th, 2011 - 8:47pmLooks good , don’t think the tree peopel are the monsters though?Can you put a pciture still of the tree people up though?

November 19th, 2011 - 5:33ammaybe they might be the forest of cheem
PandoricaOwner
November 19th, 2011 - 10:22amGood suggestion , but weren’t they more friendly? I think in Doctor Who Adventures the silhouette was chosen at random to represent every creature or monster.looks spectacular though , hope it’s better than last year , that episode was so dull for me!
dw2005
November 19th, 2011 - 7:31pmThey could be a distant relative of the weeping angels.
connor
November 18th, 2011 - 8:46pmso last year it was based on a christmas carol and this year its based on narnia. still looks awesome. looks like its going to be better then last years.

Will
November 18th, 2011 - 8:45pmSteven Moffat should change the episode title because its too long and its not exiting
David Morgan
November 18th, 2011 - 8:54pmI completly agree. Far to long.
Thetasigma
November 18th, 2011 - 9:01pmYep have to agree with that ! Way to long and combersome…lets hope the show itself is FAR better than the title !
dw2005
November 19th, 2011 - 7:33pmI agree aswell, I really like short titles like “Night Terrors” and “Closing Time”.
matt smithy
November 18th, 2011 - 8:37pmfor the first time in ages i can say this looks like real doctor who! it is not to stupid and unreal it is like the 9th- 10th doctor days again! i have liked matt smiths eps but have you noticed they are a bit too cheesey and silly?
(ps: i think the title is too long and it is based on a book… AGAIN!
Commander Strax
November 19th, 2011 - 2:19pmwhat was the other title based on a book
CG
November 19th, 2011 - 4:44pm@Commander Strax, I think matt smithy is referring to last years special A Christmas Carol

November 19th, 2011 - 9:43am😆 i thought the sketch when Matt Smith was naked was funny 😆
dw2005
November 19th, 2011 - 7:35pmThere’s been better sketches such as “Time Crash”. In my opinion, that is one of the best doctor who CIN sketches of all time.
booboo
November 19th, 2011 - 7:39pmtime crash was great
dw2005
November 19th, 2011 - 7:45pmWhat did you think of the 1993 CIN sketch “dimensions in time” booboo?
booboo
November 19th, 2011 - 8:10pmit was ok didn’t like it that much to be honest
aarondrwhofan64
November 19th, 2011 - 8:09pmi think dimensions in time was OK. 🙂
aarondrwhofan64
November 19th, 2011 - 8:10pmyeah TIME CRASH is The BEST! my fav dr david and my third fav peter 😀
dw2005
November 19th, 2011 - 8:22pmI liked all of the doctors being in it apart from obivously William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton who had deceased before this aired. However, I think the story could of been a lot better, especially as the rani was invovled, one of of most villainous villians of doctor who history.
aarondrwhofan64
November 29th, 2011 - 10:21amjon pertwee is also dead.no offence but he died a week before the TV movie was broadcast 🙂
