Where to begin? This time around there’s poetry, references to Classic Doctor Who, and even a Spinal Tap reference. (The poem quoted in this episode is The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot.) Also? Mark Gatiss!
Ah well. Just dive right in. It’s the only way to experience things, right?

Check it out! It’s the “coming soon” video from the BBC. Please note that it includes not only a quick peek at the Doctor Who Christmas special, but also a look at some of the other project for Doctors 9, 10, and 11. Oh, and Mark Gatiss. (Yes, this video is made of win, as they say.)
This is one of those Mark Gatiss episodes, and I love it. (Mark had more recently been working on the new version of Sherlock…) I really enjoyed the costuming on this one. The Doctor even did his hair and provided period-ish transport. He must like this time period. He doesn’t usually bother. Rose’s outfit was also really fun. I loved that poofy pink skirt. Well, I loved the whole pink outfit, actually. Okay, enough with the costume commentary. Let’s get started, shall we?
