No 3: A Christmas Carol
The first Steven Moffat Christmas special, which manages in typical Moffat fashion to be very clever, a bit timey-wimey (how he must regret having written that line!) and very Christmassy.
Like many non-Who Christmas specials, it is basically a rip-off of the plot of the Dickens story, but with the Doctor (and Amy) in the role of the ghosts. Unlike many non-Who Christmas specials, it is set on a foggy mock-Victorian cyberpunk planet. With fish. There is an added twist in that reforming the central character is ultimately not sufficient to solve the problem. What the situation really needs is Katherine Jenkins singing to a shark.
Christmassy Factor: 8/10
Victorian/Dickensian Factor: 8/10
