This is WRONG!!!! There were Doctor Who Xmas specials in 2006 – The Runaway Bride, and 2007 – Voyage of the Damned.
HEY!! It’s not wrong! Incomplete? Yes… I’ll give you that, but not wrong! 😉
I’ve updated it now. 🙂
I think you will find series one began in 1963.
Ah, that old chestnut
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS SPEACIAL! This is gonna be good two of my favourtie doctors are back! The only thing I have to say is why Rose? Dont get me wrong she was great but why couldnt they bring back Donna she was funny and awesome Im just glad they ddint bring back Matrtha now she was a bit of a drama queen! Does anyone know if this is airing on BBC like normal or is something else happening with it this year I only ask because this year the speaical is in 3D?
