The Ghost of Christmas Past...

First, I'm sorry for being late.

Right, let's get started... About one week ago the BBC released its showreel for the next months. And thanks to this we get a really short glimpse of Steven Moffat's very first pretty Christmas-y Christmas-Special for Doctor Who. Looking at those 4 seconds it might seem to be sensible for certain rumours popping up saying its title being 'A Christmas-Carol', last but not least because of Steven Moffat's son thinking its title is a cheesy one (as can be found on the Big Moff's twitter-page). And there is also no doubt that copying Mr Dickens is something cheesy to do.

Personally, I think it's strange that the idea of combining Dickens' story with the Christmas-special hasn't popped up earlier in certain editors' minds. Because that's one of those few classical Christmas stories which deal with Doctor Who's most important element...
