The Doctor Who Christmas Special came and went without leaving too much impact. One day on, this is what I can remember.
It was good to see typical Christmas problems being solved. Problems like facing off the Cyberking baddie, Dervla Kirwan, and preventing her from doing turning an hour show into a huge advert for Marks & Spencer. "These aren't just Cybermen. These are M&S Cybermen in their own luxurious, truffle infused Dreadnought Cybership..." It just wouldn't have worked, would it?
After all David Tennant's back problems, it was uplifting to see him accept the offer of a slap-up Christmas feast from David Morrissey. This year, DT's really earned his goose. There's only so much mooching round the Tardis anyone can do, I guess.
PS: Was I the only one who thought the Cybership was inspired by the robot in the Beastie Boys video for INTERGALACTIC?
