Doctor Who: The Next Doctor

Post by John »

Nicely atmospheric Christmas episode, with no Alien Santas this time. Of all these specials, this one is not the strongest but it did have some very clever touches. Not so sure about the Giant Transformer at the end, it takes it out of the Doctor Who "people trapped in a lift" genre andf makes it much bigger, but I could stand that as it was all rather fun.

I didn't understand how people could really thing David Morrissey would be the next Doctor when we know David Tennant has several more specials to do, but there we are, there's no accounting for it.

And it did end up as the No 2 programme on Christmas Day, with I think 10.2 million viewers, which for these multi-channel days is an excellent performance.
