And finally... at number one, it is of course The Christmas Invasion.
The first 'real' Christmas Special, in which we meet the Tenth Doctor properly for the first time, and discover what sort of man he is.
It's a brilliant romp, with echoes of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the dressing gown), Star Trek (Sycorax culture seems rather reminiscent of Klingons) and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (the severed hand). Plus Jackie almost gets killed by a Christmas tree.
And after all that, the Doctor saves the world with a satsuma, brings down the government and then enjoys Christmas dinner chez Tyler.
What could be more Christmassy than that?
Christmassy factor: 10/10
Victorian/Dickensian Factor: 0/10, but who cares?
