Doctor, Doctor.

Did you see the Doctor Who Christmas special? It was rather excellent all told. The Next Doctor briefly teased an eleventh Doctor in the form of head-muddled David Morrissey. Morrissey's Doctor bandied about, mixed up in a rough and tumble tit for tat with some Victorian bound Cybermen - showing off their latest flesh splice; a nasty animalistic critter called a Cybershade (seen above, bothering a man of gentry). That wasn't quite the goods though. Breathless, exciting, and exceedingly polite, but not the goods. No, the goods shored up later with Dervla Kirwan's Mrs Coulter flavoured workhouse overseer Miss Hartigan, and her well-mannered suffrage in the face of Cyber augmentation. She wasn't for turning. No sir. Hartigan ended the episode wired into a Bruticus sized, industrialist Iron Giant. Stomping, vapourising, spewing smoke and such.



Merry Christmas!
