That was a cracking good Christmas special.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well that was fun!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yup, cracking good was what it was.

“Not dead yet!”

Fab Doctor Who, but still lags behind Runaway Bride for me.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

It was indeed a marvellously spiffing adventure. Though there were whinings about continuity (over characters meeting their younger selves without the world ending etc) from people I was watching with. And a debate about whether Scrooge was actually evil. Loved Matt Smith's Doctor, as ever. "A Christmas carol!" Heh.

I have seen the DW Christmas special, and enjoyed it, although I would have liked Abigal to do more than be lovely, sick, and die.

Still, Amy and Rory and the Doctor were lovely, I loved the fish and the steampunky production design, and I got a kick of the very Hugh Grantish young Kasran.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Great fun. Loved it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The DW Christmas special was adorable. The part where the Doctor was reassuring the boy that there were no spiders in the closet had me laughing so hard I had to pause the playback.

I was also highly amused by the reappearance of certain costumes.
