Doctor Who Christmas Special

The Doctor, The Widow and The wardrobe – BBC1 25th December 7.00pm

It’s Christmas Eve, 1938, when Madge Arwell comes to the aid of an injured Spaceman Angel as she cycles home, in this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, starring Matt Smith as the Doctor.

He promises to repay her kindness – all she has to do is make a wish.

Three years later, a devastated Madge escapes war-torn London with her two children for a dilapidated house in Dorset. She is crippled with grief at the news her husband has been lost over the channel, but determined to give Lily and Cyril the best Christmas ever.

The Arwells are surprised to be greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world. Here, Madge will learn how to be braver than she ever thought possible. And that wishes can come true…

Madge Arwell is played by Claire Skinner, Lily Arwell by Holly Earl and Cyril Arwell by Maurice Cole.

    I just hope that if someone is messing with thge TARDIS, that it’s an old enemy, not a new enemy. I would like to see the return of a couple classic or eccleston/tennant enemies.

    I also did find it emotional as he was my second favourite doctor, but not emotional enough to cry or anything.
