Customer reviews
"A good family episode."
A well done Christmas Story featuring the Doctor. Good for the whole family to watch!
"Light-hearted fun"
While it doesn't exactly keep with the tone set by Season 5, A Christmas Carol is a great Christmas story for all ages.
Following the classic story with a sci-fi twist, The Doctor tries to show the meaning of Christmas to an always brilliant Michael Gambon. It's silly, but a lot more emotional than previous Christmas specials and feels a lot less corny because of this.
Fish may fly but this special has a lot of heart and it's a great watch with the whole family at Christmas time.

Description
But that’s not all. In the grand tradition of Doctor Who Christmas specials, this year the show has once again attracted stellar guest stars including veteran actor Michael Gambon (Harry Potter, The Singing Detective) and opera diva Katherine Jenkins, in her first acting role. Also here is what lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, had to say about the special: “Oh, we’re going for broke with this one. It’s all your favourite Christmas movies at once, in an hour, with monsters and the Doctor and a honeymoon and -oh, you’ll see. I’ve honestly never been so excited about writing anything.

While the plot of this especially made for Christmas Special is very clever, it's a bit, well, corny. A nice story, and well suited to younger viewers, but not as ‘edgy’ as the series. Nice enough though. Micheal Gambon ( Dumbledore) features, and always a pleasure to see him in action. I'd recommend it for your collection, or as a gift for younger viewers, but if you are new to Doctor Who start with one of the new series, as this DVD isnt as ‘cool’ as others.
