Now, barely two days after the premiere of The Day of the Doctor, fans were treated with news of the upcoming Christmas Special that will see the farewell of the fantastic Eleventh Doctor, portrayed by Matt Smith. The News in Question was a Fantastic Promo Image of the Eleventh Doctor and Clara, behind them what appears to be the Silence and in The Doctor's hand is the head of a Cyberman.
The name of the special has also been revealed to be The Time of the Doctor, a get away from previous titles that had a more Christmas-sy feel to them (The Christmas Carole; The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe; The Snowmen). The Synopsis has also been revealed:
Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the forces of the universe's deadliest species gather, drawn to by a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars. And amongst them- the Doctor. Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.I have, now unfortunately, read rumors/spoilers of the Christmas Special on Tumblr, and it seems to fit in with the synopsis, and I'm afraid that I might know the plot-I really hope not.
I myself, among many Whovians I'm sure, am not looking forward to this Christmas Special, as it features the farewell of my favorite Doctor. Though, as I've always said, my favorite Doctor will always be the Doctor, 11 has become my favorite incarnation of the Doctor.
I wouldn't be surprised if we got a full trailer here soon, as it's only one month away,
To see the promo image/synopsis/title reveal, check out Doctor Who TV, I check it daily for Doctor Who news and spoilers!
What do you think of the name/synopsis and title?
