*Spoilers*
Or, at least, this post will be a spoiler, if you haven’t actually seen the Christmas Day Dr Who special, A Christmas Carol.
Which was — I think — superb … !
«•»
To be frank … ?
It’s actually — so far — been the highlight of my Christmas …
Let me explain.
In case you didn’t know, the younger of my two sister, Ruth is pregnant.
Actually … ?
She went into labour, this morning.
At 2.
She’s still, some fifteen hours later, still in labour.
Understandably, I think for my immediate family … ?
Christmas — at least the present-giving part of it — has been put on hold, until at least tomorrow, when Ruth gets back home, with me nephew …
Nerve-wracking, isn’t it … ?

But lets get back to tonight’s episode, shall we … ?
And wasn’t it fantastic … … ?
As the title implies, A Christmas Carol is loosely based on the the Christmas time Dickens classic. But opens with Rory and Amy spending their honeymoon on a soon=to-crash spaceship.
One who’s crash can be prevented only with the help of Scrooge-like Kazran Sardick, played by Michæl Gambon.
Who’s not exactly bothered by the 4003 people whose lives could be lost …

Now, can I be frank, here … ?
I’m actually impressed.
No, seriously, I’m impressed.
Like many of my friends, I was a touch worried about Matt Smith taking over from David Tennant, as the Doctor.
But felt that — over the course of series 5 — he slowly improved.
A Christmas Carol … ?
I think A Christmas Carol shows us that Matt Smith is now officially the Doctor.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
