'A Christmas Carol' Reviews......



  • SFX has Doctor Who “A Christmas Carol” Review, the rules can be rewritten – fish and ships for Christmas . “A Christmas Carol” Writer Steven Moffat Director Toby Haynes THE ONE WHERE The Doctor re-enact Dickens’s A Christmas Carol to convince a grumpy old man to save a ship full of passengers from crashing on his planet.




  • Den of Geek has Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol review, Steven Moffat takes Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and weaves it into a terrific Doctor Who Christmas special. Here's our spoiler-filled review...




  • The Telegraph has Doctor Who Christmas Special, BBC One, review, phew, that was a bit rich, wasn’t it? I think I’ve eaten too much. I’m not sure if it was that festive sleigh-ride across the rooftops in a carriage pulled by a giant fog-breathing shark that had been tamed by the sweet song of a cryogenically frozen maiden that did it, but I actually feel rather queasy.




  • Guardian Unlimited has Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol – Christmas special 2010, Doctor Who tones things down this year, with a small-scale drama that's full of heart and soul – and flying sharks....




  • seenit.co.uk has Moffat’s Doctor Who finally shines, after presiding over the easily worst run of the revived Doctor Who earlier this year, Steven Moffat managed to serve up one of the show’s best ever Christmas specials.




  • OntheBox has Doctor Who Christmas Special Review: The Host Of Christmas Present, “are you father Christmas?” asks a very Dickensian urchin as Matt Smith emerges from a fireplace in an explosion of soot. “No I’m the doctor,” he replies. “And I haven’t seen Father Christmas – or Jeff as I call him – for weeks.”




  • Metro has Katherine Jenkins receives mixed reaction from Doctor Who fans on Twitter, after presiding over the easily worst run of the revived Doctor Who earlier this year, Steven Moffat managed to serve up one of the show’s best ever Christmas specials.....




  • Entertainment Weekly has 'Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol' review: There is joy (and sadness) in Who-ville!, by far the best Christmas special to be seen on TV this year, the Doctor Who Christmas special takes on A Christmas Carol in its own unique way. Airing on BBC America on Saturday night, it gives a sci-fi/fantasy spin to Charles Dickens’ tale, and its great achievement is that it offers a rip-roaring Doctor Who adventure tale while never losing the spirit (and structure) of A Christmas Carol. Oh, and Harry Potter‘s Michael Gambon makes a wonderfully mean, broken-hearted, un-Dumbledore-y, Scrooge-ish villain....




  • ABC Online has Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol, fast-tracked to Australia a day after the UK broadcast, in a clever twist on the much loved A Christmas Carol, sees the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) return with his companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and her new husband Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill).....
