Here's our spoiler-free look at this year's Doctor Who Christmas special...
A delight, this. The Return Of Doctor Mysterio is that rarest of Doctor Who Christmas specials, in that Christmas is barely in it. It certainly takes place at Christmas, but this time around it’s more a background feature. The lashings of snow, the assorted Santas and snowmen, and the jingly Yuletide music are notable by their absence. A fun gag near the start, and the festive stuff is pretty much done with.
In place of overt Christmassy stuff? A Doctor Who homage of sorts to comic book movies, and plenty of them. Its cards are laid on the table pre-credits with some hand-drawn panels, and within ten minutes, you can start notching up the nods to Iron Man and Ninja Turtles, and the clear love that Steven Moffat – on scripting duties for his seventh festive...

Alan Jones from North Wales is seen here carrying home a Plasmaton costume for which he paid £335 at an auction of Doctor Who props held in London yesterday.
The alien creatures - created by the psychokinetic Xeraphin race from particles of protein in the atmosphere - featured in the story Time-Flight, broadcast over four episodes in 1982 and starring fifth Doctor Peter Davison.
A battered 25-year-old Dalek figure sold for the highest price of £20,400 at the auction. It had a replacement 'plunger' arm and eyeball and was missing five shoulder slats and its wheel base, but it did not deter the buyer.
The black and gold Imperial Mk 1 Dalek, which featured in 1985 story Revelation Of The Daleks, went under the hammer at Bonhams in London.
A white Dalek went for £15,600, with both going for more than double the estimated £7,000.
Also fetching hefty prices were a number of Cyberman costumes, which fetched up to £9,600 each.

The firestorm continues. Since our article that ran two days ago (click here) concerning the current state of Fangoria magazine, the horror community has literally been buzzing with speculation and theories. Our goal with writing the story was simply to try and find answers to the secretive disappearance of the Fangoria website and talks of the magazine's end. Today we learn exactly why we may be in the final days for the once thriving genre mag....
