I never get sick of the insane awesomeness that is Christmas in Britain. They have an entire day chock full of special episodes of all their best shows, even if those shows are between seasons like “Doctor Who” inevitably is. It seems like having an oversized “Doctor Who” episode every year focused on something resembling the meaning of Christmas should get old after a while. It doesn’t.

This year’s “Doctor Who” Christmas Special has had its trailer released in order to make Americans start asking when exactly BBC America will be airing the special. Here’s the trailer:

The trailer looks interesting, and indeed plays up the Narnia angle. I can only assume that they will finally answer the question of what would happen if the Narnia Wardrobe were to be stored inside the TARDIS and then transported in time. Would the Narnia door open to the precise same date and time, or would it open at a different time relative to the time travel? These are critical questions.

OOh! And Claire Skinner to boot.

I've always said one of this things I missed most when I moved to the US was the deliciousness of Christmas TV.
There are classic Christmas specials that I remember to this day with a grin: Only Fools and Horses for instance.
Only Sesame Street and The West Wing were able to match it over here for realizing that the Christmas ep has to be super special.

The teaser above is from the BBC's recent Children in Need special. The Doctor's introduction of the video is really, really worth a watch.

Thank you, CSB. That was adorable.

I really do like Matt Smith's enthusiasm as the Doctor. I just wish he was more attractive, physically. Then again, my imaginary boyfriends probably don't need another competitor.

MAKING THE BANNED SOUND!!!

Can't wait to tell my family I'm abandoning them on Christmas Day to run away with a man in a box.

And nary an Amy Pond to be seen.
For some, the Best Christmas Ever!?
