Check the date. It was for last year. didn't happen. Kind of a shame really. I would've preferred it over what was put on I think.If it's true, then I will have to skip this episode. Woody Allen creeps me out.
May 15, 2007: The Sun reports that Woody Allen will be appearing as Albert Einstein in the Christmas Special.
I think the BBC specials run about a year ahead of what we are getting here in the U.S. and Canada. If so then we have this to look forward to some time next year. There is also a special episode between the two parter with the Master and the one with the Space Ship Titanic that had Tennent encounter an earlier version of the Doctor. To my knowledge, it has not run in North America either.

Gottcha. The closest I have is BBC America and they are even behind the Sci-Fi channel.

There was a 5 minute "Children in Need Special" last year called Time Crash that is set right before the Christmas Special. In it, David Tennant meets Peter Davison inside the TARDIS as two timelines intersect. I enjoyed it simply because Peter Davison (and Pat Troughton) was my favourite Doctor.
Do you mean this one Vic? I mentioned it back on page 2 of the Thread.

You're actually quoting David Fryer, not me... but I'm sure that's what he's referring to.
(And it hasn't been televised in the US, but it is included on the US Series 4 DVD set, due out November 18.)

I didn't know that it was only five minutes, my source made it seem like it was a full length episode.

Sorry Vic. =)
It goes for 7 minutes and 42 seconds acording to my copy.
An hour or so ago tonight a sneak preview of the Dr Who Christmas special was shown with what could be the new doctor... ;)
may be a red herring though. ;)

I saw that, and it seemed to me as though the David Morrissey character was just a normal human pretending to be the Doctor. What for, and where he gets his information (about the TARDIS, sonic screwdriver, etc.) are questions I'll have to wait until Christmas day to have answered, I guess!
Baseless speculation follows...

The next Doctor will be in Lego
The question is does the sonic screwdriver work against Lego? (Ah he probably just has to reverse the polarity)

At least now when the Doctor breaks the Tardis it will be a lot easier for him to put it back together.

Miss Hartigan was the best part about the Christmas special, in my view. I also liked the, um, "montage" of images from the Doctor's past.
Other than that, I found the episode a bit of a let down, but I suppose that's to be expected, as my snowed-in viewing consisted of Blink, the two-part season 3 finale, the two River Song episodes, and the two-part season 4 finale. Kind of difficult to top those episodes.
I wouldn't put the holiday special in the same league as, say, The Girl in the Fireplace or Turn Left, but I think it was better than the stupid Titanic Christmas special last year.
Serviceable. A bit of a let-down given the premise, but I suppose that was to be expected.
The Christmas episodes always seem a little disappointing compared with the season finale. Maybe it's because one has to wait so long, building the sense of anticipation?
So, once again, no-one came close to predicting who the new Doctor would be!
Not only did I not guess, now I've seen him I still have no idea who he is?

Though its unlikely I'd like to see Paul McGann as the Doctor again. The TV movie was dreck and as a result McGann never got a fair shake. He could've been a very good doctor. Though if the above posted rumour is true it'll be neat to see him even if it is in the form of Timewar flashbacks.
There are a number of Dr. Who audio stories by Big Finish where Paul McGann reprises the role.
