So, another festive outing for Matt Smith's 11th Doctor...and it's the most Christmassy Who yet.
Largely riffing on C S Lewis' The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (The clue's in the title), this one sees the Doc in the middle of World War II and trying to help a potential widow give her 2 children the best Christmas they could ever have before having to tell them their father's died in the war.

Cue The Doc, who's masquerading as a housekeeper and who inadvertently ends up sending the youngest to another dimension - so he has no choice but to save the day.
Christmassy, festive and with very little story (if we're honest), this Who is a light frothy tale which to be honest is worthy of being watched through a bit of a festive haze.
Matt Smith is as ever, simply brilliant as the Doctor - and supporting roles this time for the likes of Claire Skinner, Arabella Weir and Bill Bailey are solid and bring the story nicely together.
Overtly Christmassy, this special is enjoyable; with its mix of great effects and good performances it's a watchable slice of sci fi.
