#ChristmasWho
An extra, final #ChristmasWho Double Bill, jumping ahead (and back) to New Year:
Doctor Who – Eve of the Daleks & The Rescue
From 1960s to 2020s, from Whitaker to Whittaker

Plus: which two Doctors did I miss?
And my whole ChristmasWho calendar, if you missed any

The first day of Advent always calls to mind…
“Do you wanna come with me?”
#DoctorWho The Trip of A Lifetime
The most fantastic trailer ever – a new birth on the way!
#ChristmasWho

Doctor Who: Connections – Albie’s Angels
The TARDIS lands in the future* year 2025, so catch it while you can!
Then Winter 1963, for snowball fights, frozen lakes and evil monsters
But also love, heartbreak and reunion.
Gorgeousness from the lovely @roygill.bsky.social**

Doctor Who – Last Christmas*
Of my three most Christmassy Doctors, the grouch who throws everything he has into saving someone else and discovers joy all over again:
Peter Capaldi’s Twelve has always played Scrooge.
#ChristmasWho

*Not Whamageddon! But there is an OTD Who song. You have been warned.

Trying to decide which Seasonal #ChristmasWho I’ve been selecting all month or perhaps A Ghost Story for Christmas to watch this evening, but obviously my brain is broken so a bit of me keeps tugging at my sleeve saying ‘Put in Doctor Who – The Dæmons!’ ‘But that’s set at Beltane…

Long walk
Pelting rain
Howling wind
(One reason I have massive headphones is to clamp cap securely on head. Turned a corner, roaring wind tore both off my head and I just managed to catch them)
Now very tired, so imagine what today’s OTD and #ChristmasWho should be, and see if you’re right tomorrow…
December 9, 2025 at 8:50 PM
I’m festively enthused enough to pick a daily #ChristmasWho for the next few weeks
But also knackered enough and self-aware enough to know that there are days I may not be up to it.
So if you’re wondering why I’m doing a Doctor Who Advent Calendar but not exposing myself by numbering the doors…

K9 and Company
Oh No It Isn’t!

Whoops! I forgot to Skeet Benny and Sarah Jane together.
I am ridiculously fond of this pair, so it’s a prompt to go double on (work with me here) textually one of the anniversaries of TV’s first Doctor Who spin-off.

One week of #ChristmasWho to go! Probably.

@stephengallagher.co.uk Sherlock Holmes

A Christie For Christmas (ish)

Snakedance, the #ChristmasWho that really means it (see last Saturday)

Neil Tennant

and The New Avengers!

As you can see*, the bright sun is my natural habitat.

*I couldn’t
December 25, 2025 at 3:15 PM
I love many #ChristmasWho stories, from Better Watch Out / Fairytale of Salzburg which we listen to every Krampusnacht to the heartstopper of Damaged Goods and (most popular on Bluesky for me this year) The Chimes of Midnight, but here’s to three big anniversaries today…
December 25, 2025 at 6:37 PM
*Different ITV Regions scheduled The Avengers on different days
I mostly mark Season 4’s 60th anniversary on 2025 Thursdays (date of 1965 Saturday transmissions, the most widely-broadcast)
But Scottish TV premiered ahead OTD, and today my #ChristmasWho choice just happens to be The Seeds of Doom…
December 7, 2025 at 6:04 PM
K9 and Company – A Girl’s* Best Friend
Professor Bernice Summerfield – Oh No It Isn’t!

Festive-themed launches for two long-running and marvellous spin-off series** for two of the Doctor’s longest-running and most marvellous companions

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Doctor Who
But as no-one told the BBC this year, Merry Krampusnacht!
The night to revel in @johndorney.bsky.social’s most festive

Better Watch Out / Fairytale of Salzburg

Doctor Who – Damaged Goods
On the eve of a Who-less Day—
RTD’s first Christmas special spoke to me as nothing else ever has, making me gasp with blazing, breathless hope!
Listen to me pouring my heart out (and eventually getting to the book) in Si Hart’s Library of Impossible Things.
#ChristmasWho
December 24, 2025 at 10:39 PM
22 The Daleks’ Master Plan: The Feast of Steven & Home Truths
23 Genesis of the Daleks
24 The New Adventures – Damaged Goods
25 The Unquiet Dead
26 Eve of the Daleks & The Rescue

…And should I select another #ChristmasWho calendar another year, are there any John Hurt or Jo Martin festive stories?
December 26, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Doctor Who – The Ribos Operation
The Doctor, Romana and K9 are on a mission from God—
Surprisingly, that’s where the fun starts.
A fairytale of two con-men, a small dragon, a very bad king and a threateningly White Christmas
However much you love the season, a 32-year-long Ice Time…!
#ChristmasWho
December 8, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Doctor Who – The Chimes of Midnight
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without—
A lively Edwardian house
An eerie piano phrase stuck in my head
Death striking on the hour…
By turns absurd, grisly and tragic. But that’s family Christmases for you.
“You are nothing. You are nobody.”

Doctor Who – Thin Ice
A Thames frost fair, lovable urchins (some even survive), and this Doctor *isn’t* the Scrooge:
Several Doctor Who stories have borrowed from A Christmas Carol
But when even a visit from the Spirit of Past, Present and Future’s police box doesn’t change them…
#ChristmasWho
December 15, 2025 at 9:30 PM
In today’s #ChristmasWho, a double Bill

Doctor Who: The Daleks’ Master Plan – The Feast of Steven
This huge, tragic epic brings death, surprise siblings and betrayal (the best Christmas Space Walford ever had)
Yet offers us a selection box of planets and times
And one slice of festive silliness…

This was going to be yesterday’s #ChristmasWho with an OTD crossover (first broadcast two Decembers ago yesterday) – but I’d overdone a long walk in the wind and rain, so when I finally got home I collapsed like my strings were cut.

Ha ha ha HA ha ha ha!
December 10, 2025 at 5:11 PM
Doctor Who – The Unquiet Dead
20 years ago, the second coming of Doctor Who (first of St Russell of Davies) opened in an ideal spirit, with visitations of Past, Present and Future and brought us – through time – a proper Dickensian Christmas come early
Probably still the best #ChristmasWho!
December 25, 2025 at 6:37 PM
I had a bright idea this morning and suggested we go into the bright day to show off fresh treasures! It was *too* bright, but we somehow didn’t drop them all in the icy wind.
Some gifts to each other:

@paulmagrs.bsky.social Josephine and the Argonauts

@lucymccaul.bsky.social Benton and Hawthorne

OTD 1964: The Go-Gos – I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas with a Dalek
“MORE-PLUM-PUD-DING!”
Doctor Who’s first pop hit*
A particularly topical carol today:
Impossible demands
Inexplicably cuddles up to fascists
Surely it can’t be as bad as you imagine…?
…oh yes.
#ChristmasWho
