Like a shot of Johnny Walker redEach year the Doctor Who production team of the rebooted series creates a special for fans during the "off season." It has become a traditional Xmas gift for fans of the 45+ year TV series. For the past several years the storyline, visual effects and overall production have been getting better and better. The Xmas series has been one of the highlights of the year. This year however the Xmas special is a good episode, but not an enabler. Fifty eight minutes in length, this heart warming family oriented story that borrows from the Wardrobe from Chronicles of Narnia with a hint of Lord of the Rings will keep regular viewers content. However, unlike previous Xmas episode it is not a strong enough episode to entertain those who are not familiar with the good doctor on xmas day. It doesn't reach the heights of last year's Xmas carol or 2009's Voyage of the Damned or 2008s… Previous Xmas specials were a free shot of heroin, opening a door to a whole new universe...someone who has never seen the show before could watch one hour of Dr Who, enjoy, crave more and begin their journey. This episode is more like a shot of Johnny Walker…great for those who have already acquired a taste, but somewhat abrupt for those who never partied..Score: 4/5
Love it!Loved the prequel! :) Any idea what time the episode will be available? Delay of gratification when it comes to Doctor Who is mightily hard!.Score: 5/5
The family enjoyed every minute!Love it, love it, love it!!!! We were stuck in a time lock while waiting for The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe--seconds seemed like hours….lol! The planet can now start turning on its axis and life can return to normal now that we've seen the Christmas special. Can't wait for season 7!.Score: 5/5

I like Christmas, Christmas is cool!Matt Smith just has the captivating innocence that the Past two 'new' doctors have lacked, in this episode it is not only made evident, it is shown through "happy tears" and the just care the Doctor portrays throughout the episode. Nothing too twisty ( a little un Moffat to me) but still phenomenal! Has a wonderful lead up to the next season (50th anniversary! wooh) and over all was an amazing Christmas special! If you haven't watched it, watch it..Score: 5/5

It's got heartI can't think of a series that produces Christmas specials that have heart. Dr Who does just that. The camera work in this is excellent. It has some beautiful visuals and lovely human characters, characters I always find myself caring about. There are moments in Dr Who that always make me think "wouldn't it be grand?" The more I think about this episode the more I think that Moffat has managed to reinvent the Myth of Christmas and bring it together fuse it with Santa Claus. I love the writing on this show I truly think it's brilliant! Merry Christmas all and a very happy new year what ever year it happens to be!.Score: 5/5

Not Bad, Not FantasticI found all the other Doctor Who Christmas Specials better unfortunately. Not to say that this isn't worth seeing. There were so memorable moments, and the end was very touching. This Special though felt a bit lacking emotionally though..Score: 3/5
Heart Warming for the SeasonBack to the Second World War (but thank Goodness, not with the "are you my mummy" creepiness.) A terrific Christmas Tree (a benign one for once!) The Doctor this time is trying to give one family the best Christmas ever. Of course, being the Doctor, it all goes drastically wrong, but works out in the end. Not sure about the ending for the family, a bit overdone, but ideal for the time of the year. Not really Narnian, I think the BEEB was just having fun with the title! As good as last year's? Not quite. But I consider it worth the download..Score: 5/5
It's okThis Xmas special was good and all, but compared to other years, I think this was pretty bad. Others had that,"omg that is soo cool" or like "I wonder who the new doctors gunna be" or something like that, it might just be the bad judgement of a 13 yr old, but this was defiantly NOT the best they could have done..Score: 3/5
A great story, but concern for any future Christmas specials...This episode felt rushed at some parts, but I get that it was more the idea that was being expressed rather than the "Hollywood"-moments that North American TV shows have. This was a great standalone episode and a smart tie-in to the Amy/Rory arc. My only concern for future Christmas specials: next Christmas, would it be possible to create a unique Christmas special that doesn't 'borrow' from other holiday classics? (i.e. A Christmas Carol). It's cute once, pushing it twice, but a third would just be going overboard….).Score: 4/5
Wonderful !Absolutely loved this special! Adventure plus the emotional spirit of the holiday season both in a great balance. I found the ending especially moving. Maybe the Doctor will finally learn ... Even more than ever, I now anxiously await the next season..Score: 5/5

But i clicked buy????I clicked buy, it debited it to my acount, and then didnt download and now i dont have enough money to buy it!! what the actual fudge??? but its still the best christmas episode yet. I havent proper cried in an episode since rose left. it is so excelent and the acting is superb, so what if its not the scariest one? its a chriatmas special! its where that whole family can huddle together to enjoy something and be reminded to value each other. its perfect in every single way so i would give it 5 stars... but itunes mucked up my transaction >:( so 4 stars will have to do :).Score: 4/5
Worst Special YetIts the worst special that doctor who has ever done. poor uninteresting plot, really predictable. it's more like an episode of sarah jane adventures (RIP Elisabeth Sladen) childish, it's not remotely scary/spooky and the humour is incredibly weak. but matt is still an amazing doctor. i would strongly suggest buying any other doctor who special/ series!!.Score: 3/5
Smith at his best!Fantastic second Christmas special of the Doctor staring the wonderful Matt Smith. A truly delightful story in the style of its Narnia inspiration. A must for all fans of the show who like well written and performed period Sci Fi drama which this is..Score: 5/5
Paying twice as much for a 1 1/2 minute scene...£1.89 for the episode, or £3.78 for the series, meaning the episode and 1 minute 27 second lead in prequel scene! Is this an itunes oversight or is this deliberate? Its one of the most rediculous things i've seen. Who's going to pay twice as much for a 1 minute 27 scene? The episode itself is ok, its by far not the best thing that's been made under the Doctor Who banner, however it's nice way to spend an hour. Recommended, but not strongly..Score: 3/5
True Doctor Who episode, a mad man in a box....with real snow this timeI really enjoyed this episode as it was a typical DW story line of old, the Doctor appears and find someone needing help and tries to pick up the pieces then everything goes totally pear shaped and at the end, he pulls a rabbit out of his Fez and saves the day..... For Xmas. Matt Smith was his usual awesome self but what I found strange was to see Clair Skinner's name as the co-star instead of Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill at the beginning credits but typical Steven Moffat's pen, nice twist at the end! (sorry, no spoilers). (please stay Karen and Arthur!!!!!!!!) I admit, the storyline was fairy tailish similar as last year and I guess it was predictable but for Xmas, ideal, helping others, bringing Xmas joy and a make believe fairy tail storyline. Can't finish without mentioning Murray Gold's musical composition for the episode, truly awesome. Fell into the episode well. I can't wait for it to come out as a CD. Definatly worth it and the soundtrack when it comes out......... Geronimo into series 7.Score: 5/5
