Steven’s Moffat spin on the classic Charles Dickens tale. The Doctor needs to save Amy and Rory, as well as hundreds of people on a spaceship, but to do so he needs to change the man who controls the skies.
He realizes he needs to use a homage of the works of an old friend.
In what may seem like a slow episode, A Christmas Carol is full of heart and emotion, which is always good at Christmas. It isn’t over the top in action, instead adopting a more mellow approach.
There’s also a song by the mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins, The Doctor marries Marilyn Monroe and Michael Gambon plays two parts!
A Christmas Carol improves with each viewing and has the message of joy, wonder and keeping those close to you at the heart of its story.
