I'm not a huge fan of the Autons, but they would make terrific Christmas enemies - all those little plastic dolls, action men, games etc coming to life and attacking anyone within throttling distance. I could imagine millions of goggle-eyed children all over the country chucking their presents out of the window in terror. Fun!

Actually, wasn't there a Dr Who novel with a similar story?

One thing I would find disappointing is if they have skipped forward in time for Rose and the Doctor, and we don't get to see the (difficult) process of Rose accepting the new Doctor as the same man she's spent the past year with.

I said earlier on this thread that I thought the Autons would be the perfect Xmas villian. Autons v Oxford St + what a fight!

I'm going to watch the entire season again soon, but in the meantime can anybody tell me whether it was definitely stated that the Daleks installed the Jaffacake on Sat 5?
The reason I ask is that RTD promised that the question of who put Max there would be answered this series, and since the Christmas special is before series '2'...

Thanks in advance!

Hmm - so this is where our son has ended up - messing around in an amusement arcades, swigging cider and playing the chances

I fear tis so... yet still he turns his back on his doting parents, and our idyllic home in a time travelling Victorian Xmas card...

It's not fair that you say that

I don't like cider

This may have been in a very drunken discussion in the pub on Sunday night or in another thread, so forgive me if I am repeating someone else...

Santa Claus - a rather large gentleman - farts loudly before reaching up to his forehead and pulling on a zipper

Or maybe, just maybe...

Rose Tyler: Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas!
The Doctor: Who says I'm not redbicyclewhenyouweretwelve?

June 21st - the longest day - 7.33 in the evening - and the BBC is advertising a Christmas programme - "The countdown to the Christmas Invasion begins"

Now that MUST be a first. Xmas comes earlier each year!

Talking in Antwerp about UK culture, our teacher remarked how early some British start with their Christmas preparation - sending Christmas cards and the like. I should tell him this...

I put this in another thread but thought it might be better here

He says that for most Time Lords the game's up and they die, and then tell her of an "old friend". This gives the new viewers the idea of the master who then turns up as Santa and tries to kill everyone, or whatever he usually does.

Now we'll have to wait 6 months to fid out if I'm true, and if what I wrote is a load of nonsense then too bad, you'll have forgotten about it by then.”

THE CHRISTMAS INVASION,

Scene 1, INT TARDIS, DAY

Rose: Never mind Barcelona! Who the hell are you? What just happened?

The Doctor: I'm the Doctor - pleased to meet you.

Rose looks bemused

The Doctor: (adds) Now run for your life!

Rose: That's what he said the first time he met me. You can't be...

The Doctor: Rose, of all the things you've seen since I first met you, is this the wierdest? You've seen a caterpillar change into a butterfly. Is my change of appearance any more bizarre? is this stranger than Cassandra or the Slitheen or even an army of Daleks? I'm the same man, Rose - just different!

Rose: What am I going to tell my mum?

The Doctor: Never mind her, get me a mirror...

That's correct, in a column RTD wrote for the Guardian last week he said, "You should see what we've done with Santa!" I think they've made him into some kind of villain!! Cue lotsa kiddies having Santa related nightmares after Christmas Day Dr Who, lolol!

”

I kind of hope this isn't true since the idea has already been done by Futurama.

Set in Peckham and will star David Jason and Nicholas Lynhurst. The Tardis will transform into a Reliant Robin which Del Boy and Rodders mistake for their own with hilarious concequences. At the end of the program, Del Boy says. "By this time next year we'll be millionaires. Gallifreyan credits of course"

”

Brilliant! LOL!

Wouldn't it be great if there was a glorious little time overlap at one point and Rose and David Tennant get to see Christopher Ecclestone leaving a red bicycle in Young Rose's room?
