Doctor Who for Christmas


Last year, Moffat gave us perhaps the best Doctor Who story of the New Series (at least, the best stand alone story). It was based on the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. This year, it looks like he's doing The Chronicles of Narnia, specifically, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Given the natural similarities between the TARDIS and the Wardrobe, it's almost crazy no one thought of doing that before. Are we to understand a good deal of the story occurs inside the TARDIS? That would really bring it closer to the way it was portrayed in the Virgin books, where it could hold any environment. And Bill Bailey guest-stars? Awesome!

I just can't wait for The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe!

And what it'll be next year? The Little Match Girl? The Grinch Who Stole Christmas? Home Alone...?
