A bit late but what did you think of the Dr. Who Christmas special?
Perhaps because the season ended so close to the special or because my M-I-L had made her feelings so crystal clear with respect to our dogs and my welcome in her home it was a welcome and enjoyable distraction that only this doctor could have pulled off.

There was a lot of non-verbal stuff going on (in the show) and River was constantly over the top (except at the very end) which was a lot of fun to watch. I enjoyed how the Dr was always present but not central for most of it. Two thumbs up and a rewatch from me.
