Very disappointing Christmas Story. The Doctor, who is supposed to be the lead character after all, does almost nothing in this story and it just seems to all happen around him. The story has little or no plot and is really just eye-candy. Very beautiful to watch but not much story to follow. Not even a villain for the hero to battle. It was as if the writer said "let's just make a pretty story for the kids to watch on Christmas". Well the kids and most fans of the show would like a little more, especially after all of the other wonderful Doctor Who Christmas specials that have come out over the years. I wouldn't waste your money on this one unless you are dying to see it and can find it at a cheap used price. Believe me, you won't want to watch it more than once.
