The Doctor (Matt Smith) literally crashes into another unsuspecting human’s life on Christmas when he plummets from space to land in a crater at the feet of Madge Arwell (Claire Skinner). Despite being stuck in the suit, The Doctor is able to return to the TARDIS with Madge’s help and three years later he returns to repay the favor.
The first trailer for this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special “The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe” has been released. From BBC: “Evacuated to a house in Dorset from war-torn London, Madge Arwell (Claire Skinner) and her two children, Lily (Holly Earl) and Cyril (Maurice Cole), are greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world.” Bill Bailey, Arabella Weir, Alexander Armstrong and (of course) Matt Smith will also appear. Take a look and tell us what you think!

By Silencio Lake, on the plane of Sighs, an impossible astronaut will rise from the deep and strike the Time Lord dead. The two-disc set collects the final six episodes of Series Six including The Doctor (Matt Smith) facing his death at the hands of River Song (Arthur Darvill).
Although the collection doesn’t include a great stand-out episode there are several good episodes including “Let’s Kill Hitler” and “The Wedding of River Song” which wraps up River Song’s story arc and gives us the conclusion of the series cliffhanger. Craig (James Corden) returns for “Closing Time” and Rory (Arthur Darvill) is forced to make an impossible decision in “The Girl Who Waited.” We also get a spooky hotel, and the somewhat less spooky insides of of terrified child’s cupboard.
Even if the extras include only a couple of Monster Files, Part Two a good wrap-up to Series Six and a nice compliment to Part One. Aside from the upcoming Christmas episode it’s the only Doctor Who we’re going to get for awhile.


Series Six comes to a close with The Doctor (Matt Smith) meeting his destiny on the shores of Lake Silenco and surviving, but with a cost. River Song (Alex Kingston) figured out a way to save The Doctor but all of time has collapsed into a single event, everything in history is happening at the same moment as time itself slowly disintegrates.


The series jumps forward from the last episode which saw The Doctor (Matt Smith) say farewell to Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill). The Doctor is now only hours away from his fatal meeting on the shore of Silenco Lake. On the eve of his foretold death, and in need of a friend, The Doctor decides to pay Craig (James Corden) a visit, and that’s when things really get interesting.


Arriving on a planet in a state of quarantine Amy (Karen Gillan) becomes separated from Rory (Arthur Darvill) and The Doctor (Matt Smith). On attempting to rescue her they come across a future version of Amy who has been trapped in the quarantine zone for more than thirty years. The Amy they know is trapped in a divergent timeline, and this is her future.


A message travels across time and space to reach The Doctor (Matt Smith). Something terrible has “amplified the fears of a ordinary little boy across all the barriers of time and space through crimson stars and silent stars and tumbling nebulas like oceans set on fire through empires of glass and civilizations of pure thought and a whole terrible, wonderful universe of impossibilities” to beg someone, anyone, for help to “save me from the monsters.”


After a mid-season break Doctor Who returns with an episode centered around River Song’s (Alex Kingston) first encounter with the Doctor (Matt Smith). The episode, involving a friend of Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory’s (Arthur Darvill) named Mels (Nina Toussaint-White), a trip to Nazi Germany, and tiny time police in a human-sized robot, has all the markings of a classic Doctor Who serial. And on that level it works well. However, there can be only one episode where River meets the Doctor for the first time, and that means there’s an entirely different scale on which to judge “Let’s Kill Hitler.”

It begins with a trip to Nixon’s White House, a scared little girl (Sydney Wade) with the power to regenerate, the death of The Doctor (Matt Smith) and the first appearance of the Silence. And it ends with true identity of River Song (Alex Kingston) revealed.
The two-disc Blu-ray includes all seven of the first half of Doctor Who Series Six including pirates, Flesh created doppelgängers with minds of their own, the TARDIS in human form, and The Doctor and Rory (Arthur Darvill) mobilizing an army to save Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and her young daughter from those who would use her as a weapon against The Doctor.
