Best Doctor Who Christmas Episode That Never Received Enough Credit
Doctor Who Christmas specials are all amazing in their own way, but there is one particular episode you might not have appreciated enough.
Despite the fact that Christmas has already passed, some people are just not ready to let go of the holiday vibe, and it looks like the Doctor Who fandom is no exception.
For their part, Redditors have concluded that a certain Christmas special has not received enough fan love. It's Voyage of the Damned they're talking about, which is a Christmas special that aired on BBC in 2007, marking Doctor Who's third holiday special after the 2005 revival.
Since then, there have been many more Christmas specials, but this one? Fans still love Voyage of the Damned due to it not taking itself too seriously and still being epic and hilarious to watch.
Seriously, who thought that the Titanic story could actually be fun and not tragedy?
"The Doctor desperately trying to save the lives of people who aren't entirely pleasant towards him onboard a space ship as it slowly falls apart plummeting into the Earth's atmosphere is an elevator pitch I will always love," Redditor mackjagee summed up the episode perfectly.
Oh, and don't forget Kylie Minogue, because why the hell not?
It's not like everybody in the fandom are ready to proclaim the 2007 Christmas special the best, but, as noted by another Redditor, "the sheer amount of good things about it is ridiculous."
"The music is gorgeous, and is some of Murray's best. The setpieces are lovely, it's a great mix of sad and uplifting, and it has some wonderful dialogue. The best part, though, is the side characters. There are characters who didn't get as much characterization in their entire run as the guest cast in this single episode did," Redditor LewsTherinTalamon noted.
Who cares that Christmas is over? The Titanic story has never been overly Christmas-sy anyway. So why not give some old Doctor Who classics a rewatch right now?
