*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 people comment. 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 adult. 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.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
