Question: Favorite Christmas Special?

by Elisa

This week it has begun to get quite warm in the part of the world that is headed towards Summer at this time of year. Naturally, this led me to think about Christmas. (Or, am I the only one who is thinking about snow right now?) As such, my question for you all this week is: Which is your favorite Doctor Who Christmas special so far? There have only been three at this point, so at least your choices are limited. You can’t even wander off this time, sorry. To help you jog your memory, I have linked your three choices below.

The Specials So Far…

By now you’re wondering which I’ve chosen, right? I know that I would be in your place. Even given that there were only three to choose from, this was a very difficult decision. I couldn’t choose Voyage of the Damned, as for all that I enjoyed the acting, it really made me depressed. Finally, I decided on The Christmas Invasion. For all that I loved The Doctor going a bit too far near the end of The Runaway Bride, The Christmas Invasion had a sword fighting Doctor and a cup of tea that helped to save the day. I love a good cup of tea, and this just furthers the whole idea of tea as the healer of all ills.

Which did you choose?

    Voyage of the Damned for me.

  2. CK Says:

    Out of the 3 there have been, I liked “The Christmas Invasion” best so far.

  3. The Vig Says:

    Two words …. Blood Control

    Christmas Invasion so far is the best for me. The others were not bad but how can you top The Doctor’s enterance once the translation circuts started to work

  4. Sarah @ pussreboots Says:

    I’m going to break with the ranks here and say The Runaway Bride.

  5. Elisa Says:

    So, it looks like we have:

    2005 (3)
    2006 (1)
    2007 (1)

    Cool! Obviously they have a Christmas special for each of the many diverse Who fans. :D
