First let me say that I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. I loved it from the first episode on, when it started re-airing in 2005. I absolutely loved this XMAS Special and I think that the story is one of the best of all Doctor Who episodes. Steven Moffat has written my other favorite episodes "Girl in the Fireplace" and "Blink". With "A Christmas Carol" he wrote another outstanding episode. I've enjoyed all previous XMAS Specials, but this one captured that special something. The acting was great, and Matt Smith continued to impress me with his performance as The Doctor. It's as if he was born to play this character and he is fast becoming my favorite Doctor!! Michael Gambon did an excellent job playing the "Scrooge" of this story. One think Steven Moffat does excellent... writing characters. All his characters are real, engaging and you care for them instantly. This story was outstanding and Moffat did an superb job of blending humor and sadness together. And of course I loved the fish and the excellent CG!!
I can't wait for the next season of Doctor Who to begin!!!
