Mirren as the Doctor. Claudia Black and Misha Collins as companions. Though that much -er - chemistry on screen at once might turn the show into Torchwood
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

If we get Mirren as the Doctor, I think that they should get Judi Dench as The Master.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And then I would die and go to my happy place forever.

Theo, have you been monitoring my dreams?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have just been told I've met Judi Dench. But I don't remember it. Isn't that a shame? I do remember her liking my sister, though.

Even though I'm fast-forwarding through them, these commercial breaks are annoying.

Loved the Xmas special! And how nice that it had a happy ending! (Two, in fact.)

Argh, I forgot to record Doctor Who (I want to blame my DVR, but it is my own fault) and now it's not airing again for two weeks. Dagnabbit.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I liked the Doctor Who Christmas Special, but I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as last year's episode.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
We watched all the Xmas specials (except for End of Time, which I don't count even though it aired on Xmas) Death counts differ incredibly from Davis to Moffet. Christmas Invasion: 2 deaths of characters who were in the credits. Runaway Bride: 1 death. Voyage of the Damned: Five deaths, including the companion. Next Doctor: Approximately six? (the four workhouse heads, the CyberKing lady, the priest at the funeral... plus the offscreen death of the companion's wife and intended deaths of hundreds of kids.
Christmas Carol: none, really, except for the implied upcoming tragic death of the singing lady. The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe: none.
I'n not making a judgement call on what's better or worse, it's just interesting.
