And not just the best Christmas Special but one the best episodes of Doctor Who episodes of the nearly 60 years of the show now.
While there were so many silly scenes and bad jokes, being a Christmas Special these things are expected and I feel fit in with the one off genre of the year, where it makes the show all the better.
The scenes were all you could expect from doctor who in one episode. From bad jokes, silliness, a little seriousness, sad, sweet and very emotional.
While one of the characters (I think we all know who) is quite annoying and doesn't fit in to the Doctor Who universe as a "companion", once again as a Christmas Special it works, he also does grown on you.....just it takes till half way through the next season. We also get The best companion that fits with more than one Doctor.
This should have been the FINAL episode ever or at least before another hiatus of Doctor Who, as yes while there are still quite a lot of good episodes after this, there is never anymore truly magnificent ones anymore...
...But more importantly this COULD have been the final episode and I don't think any single person could have complained abut it being the last. And if you so desire it gives you the chance to end it here on a re-watch. This episode really was that good.
