Doctor Who – A Christmas Carol

On Christmas, December 25, 2010 the world’s longest running sci-fi TV series will air its sixth Christmas special with the Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol. Gambon is clearly having a lot of fun here, and makes for a strong Scrooge-like figure. And for those fearing Katherine Jenkins is stunt casting gone wrong, then fear not. The part fits her a treat, and even when she opens her mouth to belt out a song, you’re unlikely to mind. It is a rendition of “A Christmas Carol” with a time-travel twist. It is Christmas time in the Doctor Who land. And to save Amy and his husband Rory, who is on a spaceship about to crash, the Doctor must save the soul of a lonely rich man in Sardicktown. Really looking forward to this – the sets and lighting look fantastic. The Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol will star Matt Smith as the Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, and Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams as well as guest starring Katherine Jenkins and Michael Gambon. The plot was based on the famous Charles Dickens’ novel, A Christmas Carol. Watch Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol and it will be aired on BBC-1 at 7:00 PM (BST).
